Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history. Too bad so many have been neglected. Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere. Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN! Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations! That is something in this young country with so littl
Left pretty Rhode Island today and crossed the border into Massachusetts! Drive could have been better but then this is the time of year when most road work (what there is being done) is going on so hit a bit of a glitch but finally arrived at Wompatuck State Park where we will be for this month work camping. Nice site with elec and water close by and sewer close by too so no need to break down for those things. ha! Hot today (muggy) but heard there is a flood warning west of here in Worcester county. We stayed at this park back in '05 for a few days and I was thrilled to see the old homes again on our way in.. Not all are historic but a lot are and so well maintained. We'll go out and about and get our bearings within next few days. So far we do have 1 1/2 bar on phone and internet so we are happy. ha!
