(there's lots in that area, some historical, some walking, some micro, and some just wierd...)
I think the part of Canada that they're planning on entering is more along the lines of the coastal portion of New Brunswick.
I also noticed the thumbs-down sign and wasn't quite sure what that was for . . . thumbs down because they only have so little time to cache, thumbs down because we haven't listed out key caches for coastal routes, thumbs down because they're hitchhiking and figure that's the "Maine" way . . . I'm kind of curious myself.
As Brdad said . . . knowing types of caches you like and how long you want to spend on them and in what areas you'll be staying are important. For example, I loved the Boot Cove cache, but this is not a grab-and-go and to get the full effect you really need to do the entire loop and not take the shortest trail to the cache and back.
If you do head towards New Brunswick and you have some time I would highly encourage you to go to Campobello Island for a half day or a whole day . . . there are some great caches there, fantastic scenery and some of those crazy Canadians living there aren't half bad either . . . plus you can learn all about FDR and his summer home.
