    Summer of 100 Beaches 2025

    It’s Memorial Day weekend and as is our tradition, we start down on the Connecticut shore. Specifically at Hammonassett State Park in Madison, Connecticut. The water is a bit warmer down here. This is a Connecticut state park campground and most state run campgrounds have excellent camping conditions. I’ve got my tent a nice soft…

    The Morning Coffee Post

    Spent the day in Newburyport touring around. Had a slight injury to my right hand. So I couldn’t shift or work the brakes. So this is a tour of Newburyport and some beach time thrown in.

  • Salisbury Beach – Sept 19, 2023

    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. It’s my first time staying at this state campground. It’s pretty good and I like the facilities. Basically I’m…

  • Falmouth – Shining Sea Bike Path

    Falmouth – Shining Sea Bike Path

    This is a day trip. No camping on this one. As I like to say, “I ride a bike. I’m not a cyclist.” I take lots of breaks at points of interest. There’s lots of points of interest on this one. This trip is about 22 miles and incorporates the Shining Sea Bikeway. It diverts…

  • Woods Hole/Falmouth, June 30, 2021

    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…
