Racing Against the Storm: Day One at Boston

Hannah's Rock

I left on the ninth, the massive storm front that had just dumped 55 inches in Washington, DC only a mere few hundreds miles away and slowly making its way north. Despite the forecasts, I threw caution to the wind and hightailed it out of New York for a four day adventure in Beantown. There…

Just went geocaching for the first time ever today! And well, I suck.

While I was researching GPS devices to get for my car, I inadvertently came upon a wondrous thing called geocaching. The idea behind it is pretty simple: use a GPS device to discover hidden caches around the world that were placed by geocaching enthusiasts. Once you find a geocache, you can sign the logbook to…

Lessons learned from taking an impromptu vacation

When I left last Tuesday, I only had a rough idea of where I’d be going. I knew I wanted to take a drive through Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont, but other than that I was playing it by ear. I started out in Connecticut on Route 7, and boy I couldn’t leave that state fast…

I spent the night at Ticonderoga (home of Fort Ticonderoga) before deciding to head out to Lake Placid the next day. Vermont was gorgeous, but I couldn’t decide on any place to stay, so I went for the familiar and hopped back over to NY for the remainder of my trip. I got up, feeling…

How The Harvest Moon Almost Killed Me

Montauk - The End

So Sunday I crossed the entire breadth of Long Island under the reasonable assumption that if I just drove out east far enough, I would find a completely unobstructed view of the horizon for the harvest moon, as well as get some nice snapshots of the scenery. Under that logic I decided to drive, and…

Road Trip to DA SOUTH!

A few weeks ago I took a quiz at FindYourSpot.com to find places in the U.S. that I’d likely be happier living in. Most of the suggestions were located in the Rocky Mountain region and thus beyond driving range, but there was also a high concentration of recommendations in Tennessee and North Carolina as well….
