Well, I've finally decided, our next stop will be in Cape Cod, Massachusetts... the Cape Cod National Seashore. According to "The Book" (see previous post), in September and October the tourist rush is over and it's a perfect time to truly enjoy the feeling of "being at one with the sea and wide sky, which is its most enduring gifts to visitors". Of course, this book is over thirty years old now and I wonder if this is still the slow time of the year to visit. I suspect it is but I'll have to check it out on the internet to be certain.
We'd like to take this trip in the Fall so we can enjoy some of the most beautiful areas of our country at a time when the trees are magnificently in color. So we would probably be hitting Cape Cod in early October. Mapquest has the drive from Bear Mountain to Cape Cod as being a 5 1/2 hour drive which should be a beauty, I'm guessing...
Some of the Massachusetts' sights nearby that would be interesting to visit are Giant Sycamore Tree, Gay Head Cliffs and French King Bridge. I had wanted our next stop after Cape Cod to be Acadia National Park in Maine. But it's looking like the drive may be a little long... better check it all out and get back to you on that...
