[quote=spdrun]Coastal Maryland (too swampy) and DC area (too much traffic) definitely aren’t the finest parts of the Northeast, at least in my book. Much prefer parts of Mass, Vermont, and New Hampshire given a choice.[/quote]
Yes, I saw all the “swamps” from the air in the daytime 🙂
The MD countryside is nice, but the two-lane “hwys” taking you from town to town are winding with blind spots and a bit dangerous, I think, due to all the local traffic.
For this reason, I wouldn’t want to be a daily commuter between MD and DC.
In the few times I went to DC, we parked in an underground garage and got on a double-decker tour bus.
I love touring fall leaves in the rockies but will put a NE fall tour on my “bucket list.”
