Cape Cod 2020

September 19, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

There was a Pool Brewster, MA Peak Pandemic Summer on the Cape. Desperation. Wealthy city folk snapping up every rental property from Newfoundland to Hilton Head. Prices through the roof. Going crazy stuck in our house for months. Must go somewhere. Must make it worth our while. Must have a pool. Must pay … [Read more...]

World Soccer Stadium Tour

September 1, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Can We Kick It? Yes We Can! World Soccer Stadium Tour 2020 - I told my soccer-mad son Calvin I'd put this page together for him because he apparently has designs of visiting many MLS, USL, English Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, and who knows what other leagues' soccer stadiums around the world in … [Read more...]

Six Flags New England

September 16, 2020 by Steve 2 Comments

You Can See Connecticut From Here Six Flags New England August 2019 I know, I know... Six Flags is in Agawam and Agawam is in Massachusetts.

New England 50 Finest

June 29, 2018 by Steve 2 Comments

NEFF The New England Fifty Finest Another rather ambitious peak-bagging list that I'd love to complete, but I think real life will make this one difficult. This is a rather unique list that doesn’t have too much overlap with other, more popular lists. The list comprises the 50 summits with the highest topographic … [Read more...]

Massport to Nachursetts: Wellfleet Bay

September 28, 2016 by Steve Leave a Comment

Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay, Wellfleet August 2016 At this point, I've only been to two Mass Audubon properties (of 21). Regardless, I imagine this one at Wellfleet Bay has to be one of the best. The Nature Center is large, modern, informative, and quite impressive. And the trails out to the … [Read more...]

Massport to Nachursetts: Long Pasture

September 27, 2016 by Steve Leave a Comment

Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Long Pasture, Barnstable August 2016 The little center in Barnstable on the western end of Cape Cod is, I think, the newest of the Mass Audubon Centers. It's in a house that has been converted to... well, most of it appears to still be a house, but the living room is now a … [Read more...]

Mass Audubon Passport to Nature

September 27, 2016 by Steve Leave a Comment

Mass Exodus? Mass Audubon Passport to Nature Warning: This page/challenge is absurd for me to even consider. It’s in Massachusetts. I don’t “do” Massachusetts on this website. Yet, here I am. “Doing” Massachusetts. Sigh. Though, if you sully yourselves and click on the links or tags, please know I … [Read more...]
