headed over to the correct spot.\u00a0\u00a0 It&#8217;s pretty well hidden from the regular roads, but there wasn&#8217;t a gate on the private road till it was way back on their property, which was very close to the house.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I drove down it with Kathy telling me not to, but I had come so far I wanted to see it.\u00a0 For all I knew, the family didn&#8217;t even live there anymore.\u00a0\u00a0 But as I got close, a man got out of a red Mercedes and motioned for me to clear the area.\u00a0 I snapped a couple of pics from what I presume is the back of the main house and then proceeded to back up the car on that narrow private road.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cowlesmountain.com\/Travels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CapeCod003.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

of town to another park about 10 miles away.\u00a0\u00a0 Kind of odd, but we listened and drove off.\u00a0\u00a0 100 yards further up the street was the JFK Memorial Park.\u00a0\u00a0 The pups found their trees and all was well with the world again.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We assumed it was our California plates that said we were foreigners&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a

headed back into town to find out if Provincetown was dog friendly.\u00a0\u00a0 Turns out it is.\u00a0 We were famished by the time we found parking out on the wharf and wandered onto the main drag.\u00a0\u00a0 That word did double duty here.\u00a0\u00a0 Its a cool little town with the huge historic marker on top of a hill back from the waterfront.\u00a0\u00a0 That main road <a

car poked on by.\u00a0\u00a0 I saw what looked like a decent pizza place with an outside deck and asked the guy if they allowed our pups.\u00a0 No issue he said and we climbed the stairs up to the deck.\u00a0 The pizza was pretty good.\u00a0\u00a0 Not Brothers (Red Bank, NJ) quality, but better than most.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward we needed to walk off the food and took off down the street till it
