cape ann

right outside the entrance to the campground we are staying

in on cape ann, just outside gloucester, ma. the campground is

called cape ann camp site. it is an interesting campground,

all of the sites are cool, but very rustic. the 30 amp breaker

won't run all of the gagets (refrigerator, water heater) we have

so we had to switch them to propaine, and when we tried to light

the water heater we had flames spewing out the side and up

into the wireing, evidently a spider had made a home

in the gas line. all better now

just up the road in rockport anyone feeling dingy (haha) the fishing shack, they claim that it is one of the most photographed buildings in the world, i can't recall ever seeing it before

this was an old granite quarry.

last day on cape cod

anyone for a beach toy

someone did it again and let all the water out

sunset from race point on cape cod, we were actually

due to leave today but seemed to have spaced it off

and when we returned there were several notes taped to

our door demanding that we get to the office asap and pay

for an additional day.

we are going to another cape tomorrow, cape may just north of boston

from the reviews you either love or hate the place, we will see.

beach sunset

a peaceful day

today we drove into provincetown for a look around

and found this garden in front a quaint b & b it had lots of lilly's

it also had a great looking snail

i scaled the pilgrim tower

and then took a labored stroll on the beach

(sand is hard to walk in)

plymouth, ma

yesterday we went on a little wander down to hyannis port

to see where the kennedys play, and low and behold

we actually saw one of them. (no photos, that would be tacky)

but there facial features leave little doubt who they are.

so while we were that far down on the cape we decided to take a

side trip to plymouth, the house above, although probably not pink

at the time was built in 1640, the mini-van was probably there though.

the grist mill is among the oldest in the united states and

now serves as an ice cream parlor, restraunt and bar as well as

musem and gift shop

and here is the actual rock, they have it corraled so it won't

run away. it has been moved and thus broken into several

peices, i have no idea how old the mortar holding it into one peice is.

a half size replica of the mayflower, guess it was built for

small pilgrams, and did you know that they wern't called

pilgrams until sometime in the 1800's.

plymouth harbor

another rainy day in paridise

i think someone pulled the plug

and let the water out. one of the many lights on cape cod. saw this sign, took a shot of it for vicky

a couple of beach shots, just down the road from

the campground. not doing much today but relaxing.

it has been raining alot, but yesterday the tempature nearly made it to 65

week went for her first walk on the beach, bitched

the whole time that her feet were getting wet, and really

had a fit when i put her down in a puddle to wash off her paws.

island hopping today

today we did a little island hopping, we caught a ferry

out of hyannas port and went over to nantucket from around 11:30

until around 4:00 we took an island tour, not a very big island

but there was a lot to see. the photo below is the harbor as we were

pulling up to dock.

we then caught a high speed ferry over to marthas vinyard, that took about an hour

we decided to rent a jeep and tour the island ourselves.

we took the insurance on the jeep, the way our luck has been going...

the three photos above are of one of the light houses and just a couple of

other shots of the sun, water and boats.

tomorrow and over the weekend we are not planning much

due to all of the weekend traffic, not as bad as some

but we have the beach within bike riding distance, yeah right, rose marie

hasn't ridden hers at all and i just use mine to take the

trash to the dumpster, hahaha, a wise investment they were.

just wandering around

honkers hanging in hyannis

sunset from cape cod, not a great one, we were a little late

week needed a little snack, she enjoyed it even more when i broke the

shell she didn't get it all but enough that she quit begging and went to sleep

moveing along

a water fall in connecticut, around east haddam this is the samual clements house in hartford.

we made it back to orange county chopper before we left

new york state, they have some great looking bikes

some of which i have actually seen them make on their show.

we arrived on cape cod yesterday afternoon. someone should tell us

that only stupid tourists travel on saturday, but we made it.

i haven't been down to the ocean yet but i will get there

today

some more of new york

cony island

peter and stephine

mauntak point, long island

wrong day, edited the last post

ok the last post was on today altough is says the 10th

finially a hot spot

ok the last few days we have had a hell of a time getting things

to upload from where we are camped, so i am wrighting this

from under the l train outside of yankee stadium. we have visited woodstock as well as bethal woods where the

woodstock music festisval was actually held, getting there was a chore

in 2009, have no idea how they all got there in 69.

for those of you looking for the next vehicle carnage, here it is.

driving down the road in albany and some lady expected me to

move, boy was she mistaken.

they were having a cat thing in catskill, they had different cats painted all over town and they even had some painted statues ha haand a lovely shot of the hudson river and hudson river valley. we came down to "the city" today and were able to manage the traffic although we haven't left yet and will have to make another trip in to head out to long island.
