The Three Sisters lights when they could be seen.

At one time there were: 1. 2. and 3 lighthouses

So the mariners did not get confused.

The Three sisters today are about 1/2 mile inland and not used.

Our campground this week in Salisbury MA (Today's photo)

Wed Sept 27, 2023, At Salisbury ,MA
There is only one photo from today but, I will put in a few more. This was our day to travel from Cape Cod to the border of New Hampshire while still in Massachusetts. It's a curious route as it goes around Boston on the beltway (I-495) but it's only a few miles farther than going directly through Boston. I still haven't figured that out yet but it must be the tunnels this stops and the changes in direction that makes that route so long.
So that ends up being like a half circle around Boston to get to northern Massachusetts on the coast. It is also only at hundred and 20 miles enroute, so we started late and arrived early. Stopping twice along the way to stretch.
Pulling off the freeway with the trailer is always a "crapshoot" to use those terms, as there is no way of knowing just exactly where you're going be able to turnaround with the trailer to get back on again. That has happened many times but usually I look for a Church, a mall, or a box store and that usually will do it. Today we did find the Catholic Church, (St Anne RC Church in Littleton,MA) which from the front looks like a congregation of a few hundred. After driving around the church to the parking lot it had spaces For more than 300 cars. Must be a thriving parish.

Arriving at campgrounds is a mixed bag as the greeting can be everything from almost nonexistent to overly exuberant me. This one, call Rose Beach, had the office manager, Missy, ready for us and also ready to help us park aour rig. She not only guided this in and make sure we were on a proper spot but added a number of very helpful suggestions and actually guided me wheel by wheel, and inch by inch into the proper spot on the pad. She was something else and did it in a very encouraging way. We were thankful for that, as it was more than we have ever had from any campground operator.
Today was a really nice day as far as The weather went with the sun coming out and a few clouds drifting by, while the temperature at least was getting up into the mid 60s. It has not been that warm all week. Two days the temperature went from 59-60 and that was it. The campground is full and with treatment like above I can see how people like this camp ground.
The sun is setting here At 6:30 as we moved a little bit east and also North. I see in Grand Rapids, MI the sunset tonight is at 7:36. We are on both ends of the times zone.
After getting settled in we headed back to Newburyport (4 miles) where there was the nearest Walgreens store, to get Ruth some tape that didn't irritate her skin and still stuck well. That is hard to find for her. She did find the last roll!!!
Supper was simple with mashed taters, sauerkraut, and pork. As we did not stop for lunch it was a filling meal.
I'll put in the photo of the trailer in this campground but will Also put in a few that I did not before.
Tomorrow we look for some wildlife areas surrounding this Community. The birds are flying again so maybe that's a good sign. There are many wildlife areas and some Nat.Wild. Refuges.
See you next time.-- Jim
