During our recent vacation we stayed at Fourth Cliff Recreation Area. It is a military recreation area with cabins and a limited number of RV sites managed by Hanscom Air Force Base and is located near Scituate, about midway between Boston and Cape Cod. These are some images of the Recreation Area. We look forward to visiting again sometime in the future.

Massachusetts #4

It was sunset when we arrived in Gloucester so I only got a few photos but it looks worth a longer visit in the future. A memorial to lost fishermen located on the Gloucester waterfront. The names of those lost are inscribed on plaques surrounding the statue on the seawall. Some may notice a similarity between this […]

Just a few photos from Salem here: An eagle outside the entrance to the Hawthorne Hotel Cupola on the old Custom House Another eagle, this one on the Custom House An overall view of the Custom House A […]

Massachusetts #1
After leaving Connecticut it was a short drive to our next stop in Massachusetts. We camped at a military recreation area, Fourth Cliff, about halfway between Boston and Cape Cod. Our campground was surrounded on three sides by water. After settling in we went to the nearby town of Scituate for a little sight seeing and for dinner. The first stop was the harbor. We thought the name of this boat and their decoration were humorous. From the harbor, we […]
