I’m combining the last two days since all I did was drive today. Providence, RI is really cool for history nerds. There isn’t a lot there except for old houses and some tall buildings downtown. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge history and architecture nerd, but I want a bit more excitement. There were […]

Last night I made it to Plymouth, MA and crashed for the night. This morning I looked at what was around and figured I could hang out for an hour or two and bounce. I did a pretty good job of keeping my timeline this time. Plymouth isn’t that big of a town and you […]

Today I visited the sites of Burlington. I started with a little hike up to the Ethan Allen Tower. This is a tower that was built by the citizens to commemorate Ethan Allen, but has nothing to do with him. Right around the corner was the Ethan Allen house. Ethan Allen was a Revolutionary War […]

Yesterday was a boring driving day and today I made it up to Burlington, VT. The Adirondacks are beautiful mountains. They are a bit hazardous if you don’t plan well though. There is about 50 miles of mountainous area where there are no towns, gas, or cell service. I made a few stops at some […]
