Was down the Cape on the weekend, spent some time on the drive back taking roads less travelled.
Al was digging up King's Road, had to detour around him.
Went for a couple of loads in the dumptruck w the dog.
Macks behind the bakery while BA was getting something.
Long Island
Little Narrows
Glendale Mountain Rd, looking for a church BA's Great-Aunt took her to when she was a little girl. Her family's roots trace back to the pioneers in this area who immigrated from Scotland.
Found it! This is miles back in the woods, used to be a community. The forest reclaimed the rest of the homesteads. There is a really old graveyard behind with mid-1800 deaths.
Church built 1841, the community would be a bit older. (see obituary below)
Had this strange feeling we were being watched....
Just kidding! No ghosts today. This Church is on an active snowmobile club trail. It was open, so we went inside.
The sun shined really bright inside the freezing church when BA came close to the alter, that was neat.
There were some historical items to look at in the back room. There was a guest book to sign too. She put our Gaelic names, there were a few others who had as well. Neat to see.
So that was great, got to do a little expedition wheeling and found what we were looking for. Headed back out to the highways after that.
The Causeway from lighthouse land. I didn't know you could just drive in here, but you can. Its a great spot to look around.
There are some grave markers on the hill, 'Skinner' We were thinking they were probably lighthouse keepers.
Just pull in right here! When driving by, you don't notice the road off to the side because you are looking at the causeway bridge.
