The best way home from Chipotle

Where Quarry Rd departs from Euclid Ave, you can take a little adventure and believe you’re somewhere else. Or sometime else. Or both. It’s only for about 1/4 mile, but it’s still worth it.

It reminds me a little of my Dad, who used to always explore interesting ways to get from place to place that were off the beaten path. He didn’t like to take the same road all the time. I can feel the twinkle in his eye as I drive around the sharp corners and come up the steep little hill that ends at the edge of the railroad tracks. There is an old fashioned signal at the top. Early and late in the day you’d better be prepared to stop since there are lots of VRE trains and also the occasional AMTRAK. Dad would have liked this route.

Rachel is a convert now to this little road and if I ever forget to take it on our way home Friday evenings from Chipotle I hear about it. She usually makes me turn around and correct my mistake.
