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!

One of our most favorite places are the "Redwoods" in Northern California. These are the tallest trees in the world and this is where they live and thrive!! The oldest recorded tree (by counting rings) is 2200 yrs old! Can you even begin to imagine? They are so tall and give you a sense of how life goes on. We just love it here and stayed a few days. Took several short hikes and just enjoyed it so very much. No TV or phone service but could still txt from the campground we stayed at (Richardson's Grove RV). Although we did have fog each morning (by the way, these trees need that fog as the water from the roots will not reach their tops!) we had sunshine each afternoon and it was quite pleasant. Just love all the big stumps that are perfect for youngsters to play hide and seek! ha!
