This weekend is the end of my Spring vaca. 
But i did accomplish alot. Did some yard work, built a new Catwalk for my pier. Got my new tydeebowl boat registered, and used it! Went to Portland Maine, etc.Today i had high enough tide to launch my float! Saturday drove to Cape Cod, with Al, and brought to of the grandsons, James and Nic. We had a great time. We did something i have wanted to do since being a little kid, viisiting relatives in Provincetown, and that was to take a Dune Trip! Walked them when i was a youngster, with my Dad, but that was it. So i made some quick reservations. We were in Ptown at about 11:00, and the reservations were at 1:00, so we walked and shopped, grabbed some pizza and relaxed. At 12:45 we walked across the street to Art's Dune Tours. They have been in busness since about 1941. We got are tickets, and hopped in their Suburban. (If i was able to get a permit, could of used my own,but fat chance on that) The driver was a local of course, Al knew him, but i failed to catch his name. He was very social, and knew the local history well.[attachment 89800 DSC04399.jpg] I knew this fact, but he mentioned it as part of his speal, "the Pilgrams landed in Provincetown originally, thats what the Monument represents. They settled in "Plymouth" and did not land at Plymouth Rock! Just so you know! 
Most of the Cape is part of the National Park system, :Cape Cod National Seashore to be exact. The have extremely tight rules about the Dunes, and the vegetation. The grass/weeds etc.,keep it from being washed away. Kind of looks like a desert. During the trip we saw some of the dune shacks that are left from the early days. Most of the people were or are famous writers or poets who live in solitude for the season. The Park Service owns the shacks, and i believe there may be a lottery to live in for a season.[attachment 89801 DSC04403.jpg][attachment 89802 DSC04410.jpg] We stopped for a photo op![attachment 89803 DSC04417.jpg] James[attachment 89804 DSC04418.jpg] and Nic.Think he was Happy?
