A Drive Down Maine Route 175 – Winding Roads and Waterfalls
For nearly every year of my life, my dad and I have always ended our summer by making a visit to Maine’s Blue Hill Fair. It’s a typical country fair with food stalls, carnival rides, farm competitions, a local art showcase, and it’s always a ton of fun to go to (I especially love the…

A Drive Down US Route 2 in New Hampshire – Continuing Where We Left Off
In the original twelve-post run of One Road back in 2024, the first trip I recorded remains my favorite trip we covered: US Route 2 in Maine. Now, as we reach the tenth post since returning this year, I’d say it’s finally time we continued our journey west! US Route 2 covers a pretty short…

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…
