Waching daily Jan 11 2018

Last day on the Cape as we headed back today. But we still managed to see 1 last Lighthouse... from a distance

We made this detour looking for the Light, but couldn't even see it from a distance

Not giving up, on the celphone Google Map discovered another point and went back

Lighthouse # 15 - Sandy Neck Light

Access to the Light is only with a 4 x 4 and on another road. At least we could see it from here. See it?

Ok, seen all there is to see, next stop: Jimmy's home in Lakeville

There are 2 bridges over the Canal, we went over one and returned over the other

I have actually traversed the entire canal in around 1973 when a college friend's father was testing a houseboat he built. We sailed from New Bedford

Note Plymouth, where the Pilgrims finally settled in 1620

End of the trip, we left on Monday and arrived back at Jimmy's Friday Night

4th Day Lighthouse hunting

Spent the day in Ptown

3 Lights today... seeing only, from a distance, did not visit them

Rode from the hotel through town

Cape Cod is famous for its sand dunes

Cape Cod National Seashore

Lifeguard Museum closed for repairs

Our hotel, Surfside, very good

Coast Guard

Here you can get a permit to ride your 4 x 4 on the dunes

We were trying to reach the lighthouse

But it is kind of far to walk along the beach and we were not prepared

From this beach parking lot we could see the Light

See it?

Lighthouse # 12 - Race Point Light

This is Pilgrim Point, 1st place where the Pilgrims landed in 1620, before Plymouth

This seawall gets you to Race Point

The Mayflower left England in 1620 with families looking for a new world to practice their religion in peace

Their destination was Jamestown, Virginia, where the 1st setters were... storms pushed them here

Mayflower's rummaging

They anchored here and spent the 1st winter in the ship

The Mayflower Compact was written here and served as a basis for the Declaration of Independence 157 years later

Of the 102 passengers and 30 crew, 68 survived the winter

A row boat went out exploring and, crossed the bay to find arable land in Plymouth where they settled in spring

Light # 16 - Wood End Light

This marks the end of Route 6, USA's longest road

End of Route 6

Route 6 was important to me as it crossed New Bedford, where I grew up. During the 60s, Rte 6 was our most important road.

I actually made a 2-part video about Route 6

Next we visited the Pilgrim Monument. View from the entrance to the stairs

We actually climbed the tower

All along are plaques from towns that donated to its construction

Here is New Bedford's plaque, where I grew up, 1961-1974

And walked around the outside at the top

You can see the curvature of the Cape here

Terrifying picture from outside walk at the top of the tower

Glad to be back down, I'll tell 'ya

Light #14 - Long Point Light

Provincetown wharf

City Hall

Dining at Fanizzi's Restaurant, a short walk from the hotel

Big curve to line up with Bourne Bridge on Route 28

I have actually traversed the entire canal in a friend's house boat back in 1973

Santana can really play, can't he?

Lighthouse #1: Wings Neck Light

Access is restricted, but you can see it fine from here

You can rent the lighthouse for a stay

The roads are so uncrowded just before the summer crowd arrives

Light #2 in view

Nobska Lighthouse

Very cold wind

Structure is wrought iron with brick lining

Sun coming down in Falmouth, need to find a hotel

ShoeWay Acres Inn. Excellent and since summer is 2 weeeks away.

Walked to DiVine Restaurant for dinner

2016 Vacation (5) - DIA 3: Caça aos Farois de Cape Cod/ Cape Cod Lighthouses Day 3 - Duration: 7:03.

Day 3 Hunting the Cape Cod Lighthouses...

...5 Lights today

We are driving over 50 miles today, to the end of the Cape, Provincetown

Interesting, this Inn, the wife of the couple that runs it, went to the same college as me - SMU, now UMASS Dartmouth...

...during the same years, 1970-74!

Another marvelous day...

... along Route 28

The yellow line is always our on-foot moves

You need to do some walking... on sand to get to this Lighthouse #7

We did not go for it and this photo is not mine

Parked the car and walked around charming Chatham

In the summer it is very crowded with tourists here, good thing summer was 2 weeks away

This lighthouse is a working one, maintained by the Coast Guard

We are now on Route 6

Exit at Nauset Road, then Cable Road

Lighthouse #9 - Nauset Light, Eastham (tower was closed to climb)

Wrought Iron plate structure with brick lining, 14 m/ 46 feet high

Details in my Google Photo Album

This is the light pictured on the Cape Cod Potato Chips bags

It was at this shack that the 1st intercontinental telegraph cable made landfall in 1879

Light # 10 - Three Sisters. This is not the original location.

Back on Route 6

Another detour to reach Lighthouse # 11 - Highland

Off at Highland Road

The Light is in the middle of a golf course

It has a visitor center and a souvenir shop, so you can climb the tower (for a fee). It was closing time when we arrived.

This one has a brick structure

We took Route 6A for a more scenic ride

A stop to rest and see PTown in the distance

Decided to leave the car and walk into town (yellow track)

At the turn of Century 18 to 19, PTown had a lot of artists

Looking for a hotel found only gay ones, so had to resort to the celphone map to find a family one

This one is a family hotel, large, comfortable, nice breakfast, very reasonable price.
