A Drive Down Maine Route 114 – The Water Wonders of Southern Maine
Maine is well known for its natural wonders. It has a long and scenic coastline, a dense untouched forest across much of the north, and some of the tallest mountains in New England. But what isn’t talked about nearly as much is the sheer number of lakes across Maine. Though sources vary, Maine is undeniably…

To the Northwest Hills! – A Drive Down Connecticut Route 20
It’s finally time – we’ve made it to Connecticut! For many, this is unfortunately a state without too much to see. It’s that part of the Northeast Corridor that’s just dense cities and empty highways, connecting New York to Boston via several interstates. Breaking away from the throughways though reveals a state with beautiful coastlines,…

Smoky Twilight Over Boston Harbor – A Drive Down Nantasket Ave
In mid-July of this year, Greater Boston was engulfed in dark skies due to a massive series of wildfires on the border of Ontario and Minnesota about 1,000 miles away. I’ve lived here for my whole life and have genuinely never seen skies like this ever, so I knew I had to scramble to document…

A North Shore Bus Tour – A Trip Down the MBTA’s Route 442
This post is a little different than our usual transit adventures, as we’re really looking at two sister buses that run nearly the same route. MBTA Routes 441 and 442 both extend from the northern terminus of the Blue Line in Revere up to Marblehead, a historic peninsula town that’s otherwise completely cut off from…

Providence’s Rapid Transit – A Trip Down the RIPTA R Line
The R Line is the crown jewel route of Rhode Island’s transit network, RIPTA. It connects the densest commuter stretch of Greater Providence across three cities, takes as close to a direct route as possible through each, and has by far the best frequency of any bus in the system. It runs regularly once every…

From North to South in Maine’s Easternmost County – A Drive Down Maine Route 191
Washington County has always felt like a part of Maine that’s glossed over in most discussions of the state. It’s east of Acadia National Park, its largest city has barely over 3,000 people, and there’s no major interstates that run through to connect it to the rest of New England. It’s unfortunately both one of…

A Stormy Day in Monadnock Valley – A Drive Down New Hampshire Route 123
Nestled in the southeast of New Hampshire, between the Connecticut and Merrimack River Valleys, lies the Monadnock Region. While the state is most famous for its White Mountains in the north and short but beautiful coastline in the southeast, this region carries its own kind of landscape that can’t be found anywhere else. Monadnock is…

The High-Speed Train Through the Heart of Boston – A Trip Down the Fairmount Line
Within the densely interconnected web of subway routes in Boston, one route stands out for just how strange it is in context of the greater system. It connects some of the largest residential neighborhoods in the city to its commercial hub, and runs just blocks away from the largest park Boston has to offer. The…
