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
All too soon it was time to be on road again and destination Washington State. We were advised to make stop in Three Forks for the wonderful deli bakery Wheat Monana. Worth the stop.. we walked out with arms full of all sorts of goodies... This is a great stop! Loved it.. all too soon back on road and did fine until about an hour west of Missoula then hit the R A I N. It has been raining steady and today (6-6-12) had warning from National Weather Station for flood warnings. Now wait a minute. You mean to tell me we made it all the way through the whole country from Florida to Washington State without any mishaps only to be warned of Floods!!! What is going on?? ha! What a crack up .. we are holed up today trying to stay dry and wrap our heads around this crazy weather. Will say we did stop in Idaho to top off fuel tanks since the State of Washington seems to be in the "gouge" mode... guess Princess Gregoire is still working to clean up deficit mess. .. oh well. They all have to do what ever they can get by with these days I guess. Meanwhile, looking forward to a day when the sun does shine and we can get out and about and enjoy. ha!
