I will be touring Maine this summer and just want to be safe.
I will carry pepper spray for dogs for sure.

A decent lock or two can come in handy.
Also, don't be afraid to ask the campground operator if they have a shed or locker or somewhere you can store your panniers etc. while you head into town to get dinner.
And if you carry expensive technology or other important documents etc., take them with you. We carry teensy fold-up backpacks (
they're teensy when folded, but quite a decent size and fairly strong when unfolded) which we can use to carry whatever we'd prefer not to leave in our panniers.
