AUTHOR THANKS

Mara VorheesThanks to Jennye Garibaldi for many years of leadership and cooperation on New England titles – you will be missed! My heart goes out to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings, all of the runners and the city as a whole. Patriots’ Day has always been about facing challenges with courage – it’s now true more than ever. Bostonians love their city. Love will prevail.

Gregor ClarkI wish to thank all the generous fellow Vermonters who helped with this project, especially John McCright, Sarah Pope, Namik Sevlic, Saba Rizvi, Sarah Shepherd, Sue Heim and David Alles. Love and thanks as well to Gaen, for sharing my excitement about exploring that next side road, to Meigan for giving me hugs at deadline time and to Chloe, whose infectious love of climbing Mt Mansfield barefoot always makes me smile.

Ned FriaryThanks to all the people I met along the way who shared their tips, including the helpful folks staffing the counters at the local tourist offices. A special thanks to the rangers at the Cape Cod National Seashore and to Bob Prescott of the Massachusetts Audubon Society for sharing their one-of-a-kind insights.

Paula HardyI’d like to thank the following for sharing the best of Connecticut and Rhode Island: Anne McAndrews, Dave Fairty, Pat and Wayne Brubaker, Rick Walker, Sanjeev Seereeram, Cinta Burgos, David King, Dave Helgerson, Harry Schwartz, Elizabeth MacAlister and the Preservation Society of Newport; and in-house, thanks to super commissioning editor Jennye Garibaldi and coordinator Mara Vorhees.

Finally, thanks to Rob Smith for the laughs and letting me bring home Baggo.

Caroline SiegThanks to everyone who took the time to share their tips with me and for the countless friendly conversations at lobster shacks, ski resorts and brewpubs. And a very special thank you to the Schmidt family who keep me coming back to New England year after year.
