Total miles covered 1700 by train, 540 by car	Total miles on foot approx 47	Number of Pics 121
Highlights As our first time visit to Boston, MA. we took Amtrak out of Waterloo to Boston and spent a few days exploring the city by foot carrying almost all of our things in backpacks.  After a short jaunt to Uncasville, CT for a concert we then hightailed it 5 hours North to the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire for backpacking in the presidential range. Next, back to Boston via rental car for a few more days of exploration and fun. Fortunately, the weather was near perfect the entire time (quite rare in the Northeast) which was a very good thing since we had planned on not having a car for our 5 days in Boston and touring the city on foot as well as 3 days backpacking. We ate some good food in Boston and we even ate very well on the trail with some gourmet meals out of our backpacks. Click the pic above to see pics of our trip.
