The Outermost House, Henry Beston's Cape Cod
When taking the initial walk down the path to Coast Guard Beach in Eastham, MA, one might not have the notion that a deeper understanding of the great cosmic picture could be right hereamong the surf, sand, and stretches of the beach and marsh.

The Frost Trail- The Homes and Roads of Robert Frost
At both of Frost's homes in New Hampshire we were able walk amongst nature which was something Frost himself cherished. Our last stop on the trip brought us over the Connecticut River into Vermont, the place where Frost considered his home base for the rest of his life.

Our next stop was the Frost Place in Franconia, NH farther north on Interstate 93. The home is in the White Mountains not far from the highway. The small white house is on a dirt road on the side of a sloping hill that faces Lafayette Mountain.

Sunrise at Walden Pond
Author: Henry David Thoreau
The morning was a time that offered much to Henry David Thoreau and Walden Pond seemed a fitting place to celebrate the sun's arrival.
It was dark on a quiet winter morning and snow lined the side of the road. I began to walk down along the north side of the pond towards Thoreau's house site. The sky was dark and some snow had melted along the trail.

Thoreau Other's Waters:
The Concord River
Author: Henry David Thoreau
When reading Thoreau for the first time, a reader might assume that the writer is speaking aloud his mind, giving a voice to his innermost thoughts, opinions and edicts. I came, I saw and this is what I think. Thoreau came to Nature as though he were responding to a call. It was his muse, the very source of his thoughts.

The Frost Farm - The Homes and Roads of Robert Frost
Author: Robert Frost
For each reader of Frost there is a different poet and poem. We can make our own meaning of his work. To celebrate that work we left Boston, MA on a two day road trip through New Hampshire and Vermont to see how the states where the poet lived and wrote, remember him.
