Fitting End to the Summer

Steve and I drove to Mashpee to bike a trail with Linda Lee. It was a perfect day; not too humid, big puffy clouds, and few tourists. We set out a little after 1:00pm. I stopped a few times to take pictures along the way. I had my old camera...not enough power to capture detail or the egrets dining in the marshes. If I can outfit my bike with cushioned bags to hold my Nikon, I'll definitely haul it on our Fall trip. Yes, we are already dying to go back there, it was such a nice ride. We would like to stay a few days and bring the kayaks.


We stopped for lunch in Woods Hole (Landfall Restaurant)...lobster roll, french fries and a jumbo Arnold Palmer iced tea...excellent. After we ate Steve got some bottled water for us and we headed back to Mashpee. The sun was a few hours from setting. It felt like an autumn afternoon. All along the trail there were rabbits and their offspring munching away....very cute.


We made one final stop near the end of the trail and that was to get ice cream. I highly recommend the Shining Sea Bikeway.
