Be careful when using a GPS: Masalin Road is split in half and it takes at least fifteen minutes to get to us if you find yourself on the wrong end. You want the section that is near Route 52, not the end near Route 173.

From Boston and other points South, come up Route 95 to Portland and get on Route 295. You can get off 295 in Brunswick and follow Route 1 to Camden, which works well except during the peak travel months. Or take Route 295 up to Gardiner (just south of Augusta) and come in the back way via Routes 17 and 235.

From the North you come down to Belfast and get on Route 52.

Airports:

• Knox County (RKD) in Rockland, about 45 minutes away
• Bangor International (BGR), an hour and fifteen minutes
• Portland International (PWM), two hours

From Camden:

• Route 1 North through Camden
• Left onto Route 52 after passing through downtown Camden (The Camden Public Library will be on your right, and Route 1 goes off to the right here, but you're left-leaning onto 52.)
• Follow 52: It weaves past Megunticook lake on your left, takes a sharp left at the Youngtown Inn, a left at the stop sign opposite the Drake's Corner store, a sharp right immediately after the Center General Store in Lincolnville Center (Route 173 goes straight here, but you take the right onto 52). Things are uneventful for another 1 1/2 miles, then you'll follow 52 around a long left curve (known locally as Deadman's Curve). Continue on 52 for another 1/2 mile after the curve.
• Proceed straight onto Tucker Brook Road when 52 curves off to the right. Watch carefully and yield to traffic coming down 52 towards you.
• Proceed straight onto Masalin Road when Tucker Brook Road goes off to the right (1/2 mile in from Route 52).
• Follow Masalin Road as it makes a sharp left about 1/2 mile later. (Do not go straight up the hill on Old Belmont Road; leads up to a large blue house, not us.)
• We're 1/4 mile further up the road, #202, blue-gray house with dark trim

• 95 North into Maine
• Continue to Exit 44, Route 295 North
• 295 North to Exit 28, Brunswick
• Route 1 North (passing through Brunswick, Bath, Wiscasset, Damariscotta, Waldoboro), about 45 miles
• Left onto Route 90 in Warren (90 rejoins 1, so if you miss it, just stay on 1 and you'll get to see Rockland too)
• Left onto Route 1 North when 90 ends
• Proceed through Camden and follow the From Camden directions above

• 95 North into Maine to Exit 44, Route 295 North
• 295 North to Exit 49, Route 201, Gardiner
• Right onto Route 201 North into Gardiner, about 5 miles
• Follow 201 as it weaves down to the left past a 7-11, then straight down a hill past a traffic light and up the other side past the A-1 diner, then past the Cumberland Farms and Rite Aid
• Follow signs for Routes 9 North and 27 South and proceed straight across the bridge (don't follow Route 201 any further)

  • Left onto Route 1 North at the end of Route 90
  • Proceed into Camden and follow the From Camden directions above
• Otherwise:
  • Proceed 25 miles on Route 17
  • Left onto Route 235. 235 is curvy and a tad tricky but well-marked and will spit you out at petunia pump in Lincolnville Center. Center General Store is in front of you to the left.
  • Left onto 52
  • Immediate right after Center General, staying on 52
  • Follow 52 around a long left curve (known locally as Deadman's Curve) in 1 1/2 miles, then continue on 52 for another 1/2 mile after the curve.
  • Proceed straight onto Tucker Brook Road when 52 curves off to the right. Watch carefully and yield to traffic coming down 52 towards you.
  • Proceed straight onto Masalin Road when Tucker Brook Road goes off to the right (1/2 mile in from Route 52).

• Turn onto Route 52 from Route 1

• Take sharp right onto Tucker Brook Road. This right is so sharp that it's more like doubling back. If you reach Townhouse Road (on the right) or a long right hand curve you've gone too far.
• Proceed straight onto Masalin Road when Tucker Brook Road goes off to the right (1/2 mile in from Route 52).
• Follow Masalin Road as it makes a sharp left about 1/2 mile later (do not go straight up the hill on Old Belmont Road -- leads up to a large blue house, not us.)
