Hey guys
I'm working on the directions
If you use Map-quest you may have a problem on this end,
it will put you on the wrong side of the river at the last turn it gives you.
I'm on RT 11 , some of the directions will put you on and off RT11 to save distance..
From the South once in Maine,
(Note, all directions will take you to Milo,
depending which route you take they can take you on and off from RT 11 ,
The shortest way
(note. this way you will drop RT 11 for a time until picking it up again in Milo)
Take exit 157, Newport, taking a left off the ramp .
going though town, go through the ( I think ) only set of lights,,
you'll be on RT 7 - 11 ,
(the Rite-Aid should be to your right just through the lights. stay on RT 7 to Dover, (Dover and Dover FoxCroft are the same place)
stay on RT 7 to Dover FoxCroft, (you'll be leaving RT11 about half way for a time),
(you'll be dropping RT7 with in the lights)
At the first of 3 lights in Dover FoxCroft, take a left,
a right at the 2nd light ,
and a right at the 3rd blinking light
the US post office will be on your left once you take the right.
you should be now on RT 6 - 16 to Milo.
In Milo (marker) at the Camden bank you'll pick up RT11 North (again),
stay straight up the hill , ( spiting distance. )
bear left staying on RT 11 North to Brownville.
***************
The easiest way is about 26 miles father, it goes through Bangor.
time wise it may be about the same baring I95 road work
.
Once in Maine, take the I 95 North to exit 199 go left at the end of the ramp.
take that road (which will end up Elm street) to it's end in Milo.
the true Value store will be directly in front of you) take your right, the Camden Bank is on the right corner
just up the road/hill you'll come to a fork, bear left towards Brownville
you'll be on RT 11 (you'll pass the Napa store to your left.)
Once in Brownville ( about 5 miles) use the four corners as a mile marker literally,
(stay straight on RT11. the only Mobil station in town is at the four corners )
my place will be one mile on the left ,
house number 686
inside of the 2nd left hand corner, After the 2nd set of RR crossings,
if you miss the place you'll come to the Brownville elementary school
same side, it's the 2nd place past me.
*((Note, if you stay on RT 11 north from RT 7 or any of the other directions it will bring you right past my place also. just more back roads to travel..))
* the only problem I can see is, once off from the I 95 from exit 199
when you get on this side of the town of
Lagrange you'll come to a tight left hand corner, you need to take the corner,
do not go straight, I say this because if it's foggy out, you can end up going straight there.. you'll end up in Medford not Milo. just
stay on the newly paved road..it runs new all the way to Milo
