The beach I eventually found only had 1 sign prohibiting access after dark so I figured I at least had a modicum of Plausible Deniability if I were to get stopped..."what sign? I didn't see the sign".
I slept like a baby until 8am and then started driving out route 6 to Provincetown. Along the way I stopped at a few places key places to soak in the Cape Cod sights.
The Beachcomber bar in Wellfleet is probably the coolest bar on the island. Live music, raw bar, frozen drinks, a pinball machine, buck hunter, and a giant sandy beach...all the requirements for a good time. I now hold the 5th and 4th highest scores on their Pinball Machine. I'm sort of like a Pinball Wizard.
My next stop was the famous Cape Cod light house. I climbed to the top and took the tour. It's like one of those things you just "have to do". They actually moved this thing 450 feet further away from the beach because of the erosion. The spot where it once stood is about 10 years away from having waves crashing on it. The original light house that was commissioned by Washington stood in a spot that is actually under water right now!
I love visiting these types of places. They have been one of the high lights of my trip...excuse the pun. They don't cost anything, they are rich with history and I can see myself going back one day with one or two kids in tow.
One of the biggest regrets I have this trip is not playing a round of golf on the golf course out on the cape. I had booked a tee time for 4pm, but I got side tracked in Provincetown and decided to cancel it.
Provincetown was lovely. My pink shorts were a real hit. I knew I had to get back to Boston at a reasonable time, so I only stayed until 6 and then started making my way back to the mainland.
I'm in Boston now for the Horgan wedding/extravaganza. I'm looking forward to dancing like an idiot.
I've been practicing my "Gangnam Style" in preparation (See link below...it's worth it).
