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!

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at this lovely little campground; this time for 7 days. Not much to it but it does have electricity with water and dump station available. A pretty little lake with a resident alligator although one day we did witness one chasing another in there. fun to watch and never did see him catch her if that was the deal... They call this the Big Cypress Swamp a section of the Everglades National Park along the Tamiami Trail (hwy 41 east to west across the state) - It is not really a swamp as we generally think of a dark and damp and gloomy looking place as you can see. It is fairly quiet for being right on a main drag and quite peaceful. No phone service or internet but can live without for a week - ha! Actually a drive up the road enabled us to check on messages. This park only has about 25 elec sites with about 5 or 6 tent only sites with restroom avail too.. No reservations so 1st come basis ... very nice little getaway.
