Walking Between Homes

/in /by

In November,1987, we bought a 180 year old farmhouse on a dirt road in the Vermont town of West Windsor.  It as an impulsive and somewhat crazy decision which we’ve never regretted.  Seventeen years later, we sold our old Victorian house in Newton and moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts.  We’ve done the drive from Cambridge to Brownsville and back hundreds of times, so it occurred to me that this approximately 130 mile one way trip might be fun to walk; hence, the Cambridge to Brownsville or vice versa Project began.

As of this date, June 28, 2025, I’ve now completed 9 segments of this walk as follows:

  1. 23 Willard Street to  Concord, MA:  November, 2019   16.5 miles
  2. Concord, MA to Ayer, MA:  March, 2020  15.2 miles
  3. Ayer, MA to Fitchburg, MA:  ? date, 12.5 miles
  4. Brownsville, VT to Springfield, VT:  November 22, 2020  17.8 miles
  5. Springfield, VT to Saxtons River, VT:  May, 2022, 12.1 miles
  6. Saxtons River, VT to Walpole, NH:  June 15, 2022  10 miles (with Chris Nesbitt)
  7. Fitchburg, MA to Ashburnham, MA:  May 14, 2025 12.o miles
  8. Ashburnham, MA to Fitzwilliam, NH: May 15, 2025 17.2 miles
  9. Keene, NH to Walpole, NH:  June 27, 2025 14.4 miles  (with Chris Nesbitt)

Stay tuned for completion of this project.
