This.Meet @ Farmington, the take 27 past Loaf up to Stratton, then 16 west to Rangeley, and 4 back down to Farm. That loop has great overlooks, fun side attractions of all kinds, xcellent food options and just awesome roads. The Maine Porsche Club has done group drives there for many years.
Just throwing this out there, but if you went 156 after leaving Farmington to go through Weld everyone could stop and have lunch at my wife's parent's store (subs, pizza, etc) in Weld. You'd also be right across from my houseMeet @ Farmington, the take 27 past Loaf up to Stratton, then 16 west to Rangeley, and 4 back down to Farm.

Yeah if you were coming from Farmington, it would be a couple miles after going through the center of Weld on the left, like you're going to go around Webb Lake.@nairb4, that road out by Mt Blue and Weld is a fine cutoff, not to mention having MS support ur family place. Help me remember, where is the road out by Tumbledown trailhead. I might or might not have gone probly Much Too Fast on that road back in the day?
As someone who has driven those same roads many times I agree. I may take a run down 166 tomorrow if I have enough of a break for lunch during my motorcycle class. From what I heard it was getting rough again.Have you guys considered driving route 3 from Augusta and going up towards Belfast and connecting with route 1 there. You could go on to Bucksport and Verona and go over the big bridge and stuff. Even further is my hometown of Castine the roads going to Castine are very twisty and have many crests and drops definelty a fun all day drive!
