    East Coast? What a sudden, tectonic shift! I'd enjoy hearing East Coast tips too.

    Just for clarification, it's the West Coast with the drought.

    Maine waterfalls will be gushing!

    Even though Calif is in severe drought, we had a very wet Dec here on the coast, and have an early onset of drippy fog too, so things are pretty lush compared to
    inland. In other words, I'm expecting Pt Reyes to look similar to most years, though it's hard to predict the peak of poppies and yellow lupine peak exactly. Normally May and June are dreamy. Further north should also be nice, provided you don't run into any grumpy specimens of Sasquatch named Vaughn!

    Schoodic Point, Maine
    Pemaquid Point, Maine
    Stickney Brook, Dummerston, VT
    Newfane, VT
    Walpole, NH
    Route 100 Vermont
    Kankamangas Highway, New Hampshire

    That's not a bad start. Newfane and Walpole are classic New England villages. Schoodic and Pemaquid are outstanding rocks (Schoodic is part of Acadia National Park, which always seems to disappoint my camera and me, except for Seal Cove). Stickney Brook seems to show up in about every picture book from Vermont. Route 100 has idyllic Vermont farms. Kankamangas Highway spans New Hampshire, with a rocky river beside it the whole way.

    In Maine,
    Acadia NP
    Baxter state park
    Many state parks along the coast. I like birch point due to proximity, Reid is also nice.
    Lighthouses like Marshall point and pemaquid and Rockland breakwater.
    The best parts of Maine only start once you get an hour north or east of the Portland area.

    In nh,
    Kankamangus is great. The whole white mountains national park is great and has waterfalls.

    Plenty of water here. We got what the rest of thee country didn't.

    Does the sun set in the east nowadays? or does someone have a broken compass?

    In post #7 the op realized he meant to ask for east coast locations.
    So you are right, the title is no longer accurate.
    Real cameras are measured in inches...

    ...And does water flow down the drain clockwise or counter-clockwise?
