Oct 14, 2009 - The Leaf Peepers go to the City

Leaving Salem, we took Maggie’s advice regarding secondary routes rather than using main highways to get around Boston to a campground we had picked out on the south side of the City at Foxboro. ...

The one thing I will say about Boston is the history here is unbelievable and the people are so friendly and more than willing to give you directions or to show you where to go. ... First we went to Beacon Hill which is a 19th century residental adjacent to Boston Common, Beacon Hill was named for the location of a beacon that once stood atop the highest point in central Boston. ...
