New England is a relatively small geographical area (especially if you buy into my theory that NY, CT, and RI don't count). From Boston, you can be in New Hampshire in less than an hour (on the beach no less) and in Maine in another 20 or 30 minutes.
We made a minor detour on our way out of Boston to Concord, MA and the site of the first rifle shot of the American Revolution. The Minute Man National Historical Park is well preserved and just outside a typical New England town. It is not a large area and can easily be taken in over a couple hours.
We headed out of Concord and visited some family and friends for an afternoon cook out and then took off for Maine. We spent the night in Portland - the only large city in Maine and probably does not really fit the true "Mainer" profile.
