Northeast in the fall

[tbiker99]

Looking at taking a trip next Fall to the Northeast. Only 11 states I have been to in my life and 6 of them are in the Northeast. (VT,NH,CT,MA,RI,ME). I've always heard that you need to see the Fall colors up there, but I've never been there. What are the "mandatory" things to see and what should we avoid.

I don't mind cities too much, but it isn't my favorite. Obviously we'd prefer to drive around a city than through it. But there is usually something in a city that is worth spending a day there. I'll probably try to go watch a Red Sox game.

It'll be me and my parents going, I'm in my 40s and they're n their 60s and no kids. We both have 40' fifth wheels.

thanks

I would rather go during the summer but, I live in Pennsylvania and just look out my window to see the fall foliage.
I like the green of summer.
Plus, during 'leaf season' there are a lot more people out looking.

"Are you planning on taking the 5th wheel into Boston?" Not intentionally! I'd want to camp an hour or two outside and drive in for a day and or game and drive back out.

X2, you don't have to go to New England to see fall colors.

Are you planning on taking your 5th wheel into Boston? :E

Ironically, 5 of the other states I've not gotten to are WV, VA, MD, DE and SC. But I'm hoping to retire from the Air Force this summer and settle down in Tennessee. If I do that, West Virginia and the other eastern states will be an easy to visit. Unless you have a really good job for me in a small town, then I can just move there:)
