Drive to Boston

Aug. 11-12, 2008

After dropping mom off at the Newark airport, Shaune and I started our trip to Boston. We drove all the way through Connecticut on the 84 to the 90, then turned south to get as close to Wompatuck State Park as we could. We stayed the night in a Walmart parking lot since we arrived late. Wednesday morning we drove to the state park, a 4,000-square-foot park, thickly settled with trees and ferns that is just 15 miles outside of Boston, located in the very posh neighborhood of Hingham.

We quickly set up the RV so that we could take off and meet our friends Jessica and Todd nearby to drive to Cape Cod for a few days. Technically, we weren't supposed to keep the RV at the site if we weren't staying there, but like most state parks, no one seems to monitor this type of thing. Now, park a wheel or part of the trailer off of the gravel just slightly, and a park ranger will appear as if out of no where. It's a great policy though, otherwise, each site would slowly expand into nearby vegetation. We left before lunch to meet our friends.
