5 road trips you must drive in New England
(Dominic Casserly for Boston Magazine)
Over the summer, I drove 2,138 miles on some of New England's greatest roads, hitting every state except Rhode Island.
I can't recall a more perfect summer on four wheels, and if you pick up the latest issue of Boston Magazine, you'll have a brilliant reason to get away next weekend as the leaves reach their peak spectrum of fall color.
Have a look, break out the maps, and get driving (and eating...there's plenty of time for that, too, along these routes).
