Confessions of a skull-obsessed knitter: fletcher
Array Between the airline ticket, car rental and hostel I could have driven my own truck there for cheaper.I picked up my car at 1pm on Saturday with 48 hours and unlimited miles to see New England. So, I guess it really was a pilgrimage.I wasn’t quite sure what to think actually. I wasn’t sure if Thoreau would have approved or not.Mostly I was thinking about how things had changed in the past 160 years. I had always thought of Thoreau as living in solitude for the two years he was there but in reality, he was only a couple miles from town and his parent’s land. Today that rail road is a commuter rail and probably sees less traffic now than when it was used for mail and freight.New EnglandWhen I saw Thoreau’s cabin the first thing I thought was, I could live here. On further thought though, I am a bit more of a materialist than Thoreau and would need another building to store my bike and climbing gear and what have you. As slow as I was going I thought I should just head back to Boston. I was speeding towards Boston and thought I would have a good 1hr and 15min before my car was due back, but no, I got lost like 4 times just trying to find the place. I got to the rental place at 12:59 and thought I would be fine. When I gave my receipt to the lady to check me in it was 1:05 and I had to pay for another day of insurance and an hour of car rental, which happens to be only half the price of a full day rental.So, I guess it’s nice to have seen all of those states but it cost way too much.

Take a look at who’s in at #91. And it also appears that this is also a forthcoming book.
