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.

One of my most favorite places in the whole country is the Everglades. May sound a little strange with all the spooky stories about the Everglades (that I remember from childhood) anyway.

I sure hope it works because this is one of our most favorite spots to visit. We camp at Long Pine Key where it is so peaceful and quite and you can forget the hustle and bustle of the 8 million people lurking in nearby crime ridden Miami!
