Nashua Rail Trail – Groton, MA

August 16 & 17, 2019

We left Traveler’s Woods on Friday afternoon. Spent the morning doing some laundry, playing with Landen and packing up motorhome. We were off to Hudson, MA to spend night at a Cabelas.

Landen was frightened by the large fish in aquarium and animals (taxidermy) in Cabelas. Loved sitting on 4-wheelers. Large RV parking area and Landen spent time riding his Strider bike in the parking lot.

Walmart shopping and off to Boston Minuteman (not in Boston) Campground in Littleton for 3 nights.

Our home at Boston Minuteman campground in Littleton, MA. Sites all very wooded with tall pines and oaks. Moved to site near pool and wifi for last night here.

Everywhere we have gone in Massachusetts we pass through quaint little towns. Many of these small towns have banners honoring “hometown heros” who have served in the armed forces. We loved seeing that! Littleton was one of those towns.

After getting settled we packed up the Fiat and headed for Nashua River R/T trailhead in Groton, MA. We headed north for Nashua, New Hampshire.

We passed through wetlands, forest and meadows. Enough shade to keep us comfortable.

New Hampshire/Massachusetts state line on Nashua River R/T. Trail goes 1 mile into New Hampshire.

We passed thru the small town of Pepperell, MA where there was a bike station. Passed a pond and Pepperell dam. We had a late start so we felt rushed to finish trail before mosquitos arrived.

Someone remarked at the trailhead, “You got all that into that little car?” We make it work!
Sign near Groton trailhead. North to Nashua, NH and south to Ayer, MA. Planned to start in Ayer but parking under construction.

We were both really exhausted after pushing so hard to finish this ride. Landen seemed tired too and he had taken a nap along the way.
