Depending on where your friends home is located in Maine. If the CAN border is open - Hwy 201(? can't remember for sure thru Moose River & Jackman) along the Chaudiere River. 2 lane blacktop for a few a couple of hundred miles into Quebec City (in the old town). Old Quebec city on the St Lawrence - very cool. pubs, shops, restaurants, big fire works all summer long Everything is in French BTW. Had a 2lb Lobster in Portland, Maine. At an outdoor dive bar (Porthole Res & Pub) on the water/ pier, sipping tequila listening to a classic rock band.
