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.

We are finally out of the "black hole" of LaConner without any phone and next to nothing internet and now for a little updating of the past few weeks!

What a view - didn't even have to hike all the way up either although that is an option if you really want to do it! We chose the easy way this time not knowing what we were in for and oh my what a pretty view... a little hazy but that's what happens up here in between the rain and sun! Need some rain to clear the air... so far, the summer has been fairly nice so don't want to jinx it but bet on a clear day you could even see farther... Perfectly lovely view and several spots up here to see all around from Mt Baker to Mt Vernon and even over to Anacortes. Nothing quite like it.
