I live in western Maine (prime leaf peeping country) about an hour and a 
half north of the Bush compound in Kennebunkport.
The first and second weeks of October are usually just about peak for 
foliage. Right now we are experiencing about 10% turn. If you are planning 
on needing to be here the first week of October, make sure to provide time 
to visit the world famous Fryeburg Fair (this year in it's 150th year) as a 
prime people photography event and situated right on the edge of the Mt. 
Washington Valley. (Mt. Washington being the highest point on the Eastern 
Seaboard and the windiest place on Earth is also just an hour away.) For 
further sales pitch...No. Conway, NH is at the heart of the valley in the 
White Mountains and offers hundreds of 'factory outlet' shops if your wife 
is more disposed to shopping than photographing.

If several of you are on your way up here next year, maybe Jeremy and I (as 
the only the Pine Tree LUGgers that I know of) can host a small get 
together at one of Portland's many microbrew pubs.
