Ok, I know this is not a hike in the woods but a stroll in the city.

About 10 years ago my wife and started this stroll but only got to Faneuil Hall. The problem was that we were stopping to read as well as stopping at the local bars for a pop :rolleyes: , i mean a beer. When we got to Faneuil Hall it was all over with to many places for a drink. It was a really hot day and I was thirsty :blink:

Has anyone completed the trail?

We are thinking about doing the stroll again before Winter.

I 've walked the Freedom Trail a few times when I went to college in Boston. It can seem lengthy, but it has tons of historical value to it. I think the most interesting stop is the actual location of the Boston Tea Party.

Boston used to be a small peninsula made up of three large hills. One of the hills was taken down to create South Boston and the shoreline was changed ever since. The real location of the Tea Party is now about 10 minutes in-land. Pretty interesting stuff.

I went on it once and I don't know how the hell I did it but I got lost. All I had to do was follow one red line and somehow I screwed that up. Other than than it was pretty cool.

That red line messed me up the last time as well. It led to all the local bars.
That's my story and I am sticking with it. :blush:
