Glocester to Salem to Lynn to Revere to I93 to Cape Cod

September 12, 2007
From Glocester we rode south on 127, an awesome road. If you get the chance, take it! How fortunate these few people who live along this road. The ride from Glocester to Salem was just a delight. I took a few pictures but they don't do the path justice. We could not longer continue south on 127 for in Beverly, there apparently was a gas leak which caused all the traffic to be rerouted. We rode onto 128, exiting onto 1A heading south.
In Salem, we suffered through the Salem Witch Museum (don't) and then continued on through Lynn, Revere, Winthrop (what famous person was born there), pass Logan airport, onto I93, to face the Boston drivers .. who are nearly all insane. At 75mph, people would cut in front of us only to slow down so as not to hit the car that was formerly in front of us.
We exited 93, continuing south on 3, onto Cape Cod by 2:30. We drove to Woods Hole for lunch/dinner, eating at Captain Kidds (don't). After a leasurely stroll about town and trying to see the deep sea diving equipment (the scientists were less than inclined to talk), we rode out to Falmouth to visit the harbor and the town. I wish we had more time for you could spend a week here.
At 6pm we decided not to stay (a bit antsy ... I think) and off we went to see how far west we could go. We're 10 miles east of Rhode Island on 195. Tomorrow, if I can't convince Terry to ride through Manhattan (to visit Levi), we'll very likely end up spending the night in Atlantic City (a short 310 miles).
