I would not do it in a week, but different strokes for different
folks. I did drive 1000 miles for three days of camping in the Ruins
and would do it again in a heartbeat.
It looks like you will miss St Andrews, St Stevens and Calais Maine.
Those are the parts I know much about in that area.
Bring a turkey cooker with propane and the pot that goes with it. If
you like lobsta. What a treat, the freshest lobsta cooked at your
campsite...
Deer Island is the home of some famous bed and breakfast where Greta
Garbo stayed. The ferry ride is quite nice and scenic.

Where ever you are, there you be. Unless you're driving my van, in
which case, you ain't got there yet.
