For many people, October is the best month of the year in New England. October means trees dressed up in their finest, most colorful attire, heading to a picturesque orchard for apple and pumpkin picking and maple candies, then wrapping up the month wrapped-up as your favorite mummy as you sip a spiced cider (or rum :). Oh, and don’t forget the fairs where you can watch the pigs scramble and the horses pulling while you rate the cotton candy and caramel apple vendors.
The Alouette is the perfect “home base” for all your fall adventures in southern Maine. Here are a few ideas for your Maine Fall Bucket List:
