Cape Cod - 05/25/08 06:17 AM
So...Friday, I'm going up to Massachusetts for the weekend for lighthousing. Plans are for Friday = driving up and Cape Cod, Saturday = Martha's Vineyard, Sunday = Nantucket and drive home.
I have the islands figured out, thanks to friends that live there. But I'm trying to figure out what to do on the Cape.
Now, I've already seen every light except for Monomoy, so there's no big issue of "ticking the box." But I'm considering two things to do alternatively for the afternoon.
1) Do the Provincetown Lights. Maybe get a 4x4 pass for the Range Rover to get to Race Point, though it's $50 and requires a lot of extra gear that I won't need otherwise. Also, take the little "ferry" to Long Point, and walk back to visit the two lights. Like this, since I haven't seen these lights up-close, but don't like the idea of spending $50 on the 4x4 pass...much as Rover + Beach = Fun!
2) Take a boat out to Monomoy. This gives the advantage of a light I've never seen, but I don't think I've planned ahead enough, or am guaranteed enough time. I'd love to get out there, though.
This is definitely NOT any sort of "once in a lifetime" trip...it's just a way to pass prom weekend. As I said, I have the islands pretty down...it's just, what to do on the Cape?
Any ideas?
