Photo Tour of a Back Roads Cross-Country Road Trip
We refer to last year's once-in-a-lifetime 80-day back roads double coast-to-coast road trip to all 48 continental United States regularly on this blog, but we've never shared an overall account of it with you. We're fixing that now and will share details from the trip over the next two weeks. Today, we're taking you on a photo tour featuring highlights of scenes we encountered along the way. Next week, we'll answer questions people commonly ask about going on such a trip and share our recommendations for others considering something similar.

US 1: Coastal Maine

US 1: New England (minus Maine)
US 1 is a long road, and this week we're focusing on the 300-ish mile stretch between New York City and Kittery, Maine.
Even though this is a pretty congested stretch of US 1, there is a lot to see along the way: quaint New England towns, large metropolises (or is it metropoli? and is it redundant to call a metropolis large?), and miles of coastline after the road curves back toward the coast for the first time since Florida.
