We drove down Hwy 1 till we could get on 295 south.\u00a0 We started hitting toll booths again in New Hampshire.\u00a0\u00a0 Time to refill the ipass.<\/p>\n

We made good time considering we took the 495 around Boston after experiencing a lot of traffic on 95 in New Hampshire and MA.\u00a0 (and it was a Sunday)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On Monday we bopped on over to Plymouth to check out the rock.\u00a0\u00a0 I was pretty amazed how small it was.\u00a0\u00a0 It was maybe 3 feet square.\u00a0\u00a0 The docent said it had been much larger originally but due to everyone coming by and taking a piece it was now just a shadow of the original.\u00a0 They must have taken a lot of pieces.\u00a0\u00a0 He indicated it had been about 20 feet square in 1620, the size of the enclosure it was in now.<\/p>\n

We walked around the waterfront and the town,\u00a0 lots of extremely old buildings, and lots and lots of museums.\u00a0\u00a0 There is a passenger ferry to Provincetown but it appears to only go once a day.\u00a0 Leaves at 10am comes back at 6pm. \u00a0 We also made our way over to the Old Grist Mill.\u00a0 It was a reproduction. \u00a0It had burned down after a couple hundred years of use, and that was a couple hundred years ago.\u00a0 How time flies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Upon leaving Plymouth, it was time to find the dog food store that I had ordered a bunch of freeze dried chicken and turkey from while we were in Bar Harbor. \u00a0 I had unsuccessfully attempted this back in Niagara Falls, and luckily this time it worked… \u00a0 The wallet now being $500 lighter,\u00a0 all was well with the world again. \u00a0\u00a0 We headed back to the coach, which is just south of the town of Carver Mass, in a campground called Shady Acres… Can you imagine my first thought when I entered a barren field to find my campsite… not a tree within 400 feet.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Deceptive marketing can be taken too far!<\/p>\n
