Oct 24th and again we are sitting on a street using someones wifi. We are in Madison Connecticut, spent the night at Hammonassest Beach State Park for $43.00 a night, what a rip off. No hookups, no soap in bathrooms, nothing offered and a horrible price. Compared to Cape Cod. We stayed at a campsite in Cape Cod for $25.00 a night and had full hookups, laundry, hot showers and it was great. Cape Cod was something else,not what we had expected. The drive takes forever to get to the tip, it is a long way from Boston but you would never know with all the traffic heading there. You drive right up the centre so do not really get to see the ocean on either side. Our camp site was not on the ocean either. Guess the waterfront is taken up by the rich and famous with their homes, just like BC. What was interesting were the houses, a Cape Cod house has cedar shake siding and they are unpainted so are grey, don't get me wrong, there are also some very fancy houses. We went to Provincetown which is right at the top of Cape Cod and it was still very busy with tourists. One thing we found out is that this town is the home of mostly gay couples, they feel comfortable here and are welcomed. The gay pride flag flys right beside the big stars and stripes. Everything was on sale here as well, too bad we do not have alot of room, or maybe that is a good thing. They close up after Thanksgiving. We did see a US Life Saving Station Museum on the beach, it has been restored, full of turn of the century life saving equipment and stories. These fellows lead a hard life, they would walk the beach at night, two of them going in opposite directions, looking for ship wrecks or ships in distress, this is done during a storm, they would walk 2 miles up the beach to meet the fellows from the other stations doing the same, and then walk back to their station.. Hundreds of ships ran aground at Cape Cod.
We drove most of the day yesterday, taking us thru Mass, Rhode Isld and into CT. Today we are working our way south towards New York, we will find a free place tonight and then on Sunday we check into a RV park in Jersey City, right across from New York. We are told it is easy to access NY from here so we will see.
The beach at Cape Cod was lovely, really nice clean sand and loads of it, no driftwood on the beach!!!!!!
