15. Plymouth to Cambridge, New York
Sunday, July 27
After Mass at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Seekonk, Massachusetts, we took time to throw a few coins at Plymouth Rock and to check out the Mayflower II and the Plymouth Harbor.
Then we were on our way north through Boston and the into New Hampshire and Maine. We whizzed through New England in a rush to get to Miles City in a few days. We would return in 2007 for a closer look. I called a friend in Yuba City as we rolled past Fenway Park on the Boston Turnpike. By lunchtime we were ready for some Maine lobster and to see some sights in Kennebunkport.
I had the lobster all to myself since the rest of the family was grossed out at the sight of me cracking the boiled bright red shell of the lobster. After lunch, I pulled off the road into some vegetation to view President Bush's compound (Walker's Point) across the water
.
I didn't see a rock in the bushes and crunched the RV's passenger side bumper. It was still drivable so we continued in the twilight towards Cambridge, New York. We passed through Concord New Hampshire on Highway 202 then turned southwest on Highway 9 to Keene, then crossed into Vermont near Marlboro.
The trip through the Green Mountains was in the dark. About an hour later we arrived at Cambridge. That night we thanked the Good Lord that our RV had survived the rock in Maine and dreamt of Monday's adventures to Niagara Falls.
