At explore new england, there’s a list of “10 things not to miss in New England in April” and I haven’t seen done one of them. I don’t live in New England which is one excuse-a big one.
The items on the list range from visiting the Newport Mansions in Rhode Island–there are 11– to skiing. Some events could not happen anywhere but here. Fishing season starts on April 14 and the Kenduskeag Canoe Race in Bangor, Maine can’t really take place in Kentucky. Canoeing in Bangor, Maine? In April? All I can wonder about is how cold is it anyway?
And not to beat National Poetry Month to death, but number 10 on the list of “10 things not to miss in New England in April” is to visit Robert Frost territory in New Hampshire and Vermont. The farm where he lived is in New Hampshire, but in the Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont where he spent some time, Frost’s poems are engraved on plaques fastened to trees along the Robert Frost Interpretive Trail.
The comforting thing about this list is that even though April is past, it’s not too late to do some of the things. There’s May.
