Redemption Rock – Princeton MA
I find myself hiking past a historical landmark where hostages were once exchanged from the Narragansett, Wampanoag and Nashaway/Nipmuc back to the English Puritans in the late 1600’s.
Suspension Bridge – Manson Park – Pittsfield Maine
Todayâs little adventure started with the usual â this time it was my mother trying to figure out where this pretty bridge she kept seeing on FaceBook was located. It claimed to be in Pittsfield Maine, the town she grew up in, but she had no recollection of it. This isnât unusual for my motherâŚ.… Continue reading Suspension Bridge – Manson Park – Pittsfield Maine
Tophet Chasm – Littleton MA
I suppose itâs time to write about my terrible clusterfuck of a day yesterday. I had decided that morning I wanted to go to an exotic pet store and spend the afternoon getting stock images of lizards, fish, and birds, anything they may have. I write for a lot of places besides this blog and… Continue reading Tophet Chasm – Littleton MA
Sculpture Garden at The Andrea’s Institute for Art – Brookline NH
About a week ago I was asked to do a group trip, which I am not adverse to, that would be somewhat local and appropriate to bring a four year old. So I thought the sculpture garden in Brookline might be the ticket. I had heard there were all sorts of large sculptures nestled in… Continue reading Sculpture Garden at The Andrea’s Institute for Art – Brookline NH
Quincy Bog – Rumney New Hampshire
So after my little Polar Cave adventure I decided I still had a little time to do something more appropriate for an adult, perhaps a good old fashioned hike into the woods? I had noticed signs coming up for âQuincy Bogâ and Iâm a bit of a sucker at stopping at bogs, mostly because I… Continue reading Quincy Bog – Rumney New Hampshire
Polar Caves – Rumney New Hampshire
This morning I decided to go out for another adventure and it occurred to me that I have yet to see any caves in New England. I wasnât even sure if we have any caves but a quick Google search landed me at the Polar Caves in Rumney NH, which is about two hours away.… Continue reading Polar Caves – Rumney New Hampshire
Thumbs Up and Harriskat Trail Loop – Hancock NH
I finally got out on a little adventure today! I had tried to do so last weekend but I ended up driving by a lot of really crowded trail heads and noping my way home, not that thereâs anything wrong with popular trails, I have just been in a very introverted mood these past few… Continue reading Thumbs Up and Harriskat Trail Loop – Hancock NH
The Flume Gorge – Lincoln New Hampshire
Between my body not getting the hint itâs go time, and a bunch of issues at home, I have been severely pokey in getting this yearâs traveling started, but today I took my first little road trip of the season, and it was goddamn amazing! I had decided to go to the Flume Gorge in… Continue reading The Flume Gorge – Lincoln New Hampshire
Worcester’s Possibly Salacious “Turtle Boy” Statue
I lived not far from Worcester for a few years and always heard these faint whisperings about the cityâs unofficial mascot, something that had caused so much local speculation that it continues to divide the innocent from the cynical. Officially itâs called the Burnside Fountain which is topped with a statue titled Boy and Turtle.… Continue reading Worcester’s Possibly Salacious “Turtle Boy” Statue
