First time carlisle, what to bring

About how far up? I'm going up to Ellsworth next Tuesday for work and that will be a 6 hr plus ride from central CT. And I know it's at least 3 hours from Bangor up to Fort Kent. So anywhere in between it's gonna be a long drive down to Carlisle with the 5 hrs from Central CT added in. Good luck.
I live 9 miles east of Ft Kent, will split ride via an overnight in CT
