Clare and I drove out to Central West MA to take her to a Live Action Role Playing event one weekend. I was amazed that 15 minutes west of Leominster, you were in ‘the country’! It was all rural, and very pretty! Same thing about 15 mins. west of Worcester, as well, except there are more towns that you actually go through out Rt. 9 toward Amherst. Between Rt. 2 and Rt. 9, there is a whole lot of nuthin!
LARPing! Thanks for reminding me that there are active groups out here. :)
