Our first day trekking was fabulous! After meeting everybody in Portal Park in Boston, we took the commuter train to Lowell. Our train ride was filled with laughter and jokes and by the time we reached Lowell, we already started to feel a little bit more like a family. In Lowell, we cruised around looking at historic buildings and learning about the rich history of the city from locals who had many stories to share. After enjoying a grand lunch in Lowell, we headed to Harold Parker State Forest where we set up camp for the night. The ride was on quiet and beautiful roads and we got our first taste of the many hills to come. We were met by much kindness along the way and are excited to see what adventures come next!
