I will be entering the Maine Triathlon and would like to know of any places between Portland and Augusta where I might be able to rent a canoe--- if I can then I can fly to Portland and forego a very long car ride. 2. I would like to spend Saturday at a beach somewhere in southern Maine with my SO---do you have any suggestions and/or recommendations(such as Wells Beach or Old Orchard, etc.)? 3. We need a place to stay in or around Augusta on Saturday night---are there any reasonably priced boarding houses or hotels that you would suggest? 4. Finally, we would like to spend the last two days in Acadia Natl Park. What campgrounds/boarding houses/hotels are there that are really nice? What are the must things to see and do? 5. Any other suggestions of things to do that would enhance the enjoyment of our trip would be greatly appreciated. By the way, we both love the outdoors and nature so we would be more inclined to hikes, etc. and would like to do some camping in Acadia if possible. Please feel free to respond to any or all of the above requests. Thank you very much in advance for any information that you provide. Gary E. Smith ..!houti!ges PS: This is my first posting, so I hope it gets to the net ok.
