Salisbury Beach – Sept 19, 2023
It’s quiet here in Salisbury, MA. It’s a ghost town. Even my favorite breakfast place that was written up in the Boston Globe has closed for the season. The waves are huge from a recent hurricane.

Woods Hole/Falmouth, June 30, 2021
This is one of the better bike rides I’ve done. There’s a lot to do and see. The beginning of this ride into Woods Hole is enjoyable. Woods Hole itself has a lot of activity as people make their way to Martha’s Vineyard. If you want something to eat there’s all kinds of places to…
