It was beautiful, but 62 degree water. Wildwood would have been much warmer being 200-300 mi south. Four people in our group and my 15 yr old grandson is the only one that went in.Look at that beautiful water!
I have one or two from when we walked by, but I wasn't too happy with the framing or the way it was lit - a lot of backlighting when we stopped by and I was still toying with the metering modes. I may try playing them later in DPP4 to see what can shake out.No USS Constitution pics???
I visited Boston in 1975 as a kid during the Bicentennial celebrations. I remember going on the USS Constitution. Trivia time. I have a piece of the USS Constitution from an overhaul/repair done in 1930. Every so often the ship is maintenanced/repaired. They use a specific type of tree to source the wood for the period. Cool stuff!
I was on the ship in 95 or 96 when I visited Boston, and I want to say again in the 2000s at some point (but I can't recall). I've certainly been been by it a few times in the last few years though living in the Boston area. Definitely a cool thing to see if you like these kinds of things.I visited Boston in 1975 as a kid during the Bicentennial celebrations. I remember going on the USS Constitution. Trivia time.

You should try the hike. A few summers ago, my wife and I started it, but gave up because the humidity was just brutal that day (and we ended up driving up instead later).Here's a snap from the top of Mt Graylock, the highest peak in Massachusetts at 3500 ft. Awesome place and can drive all the way up. Call it 3700 from atop the spire. It was a bit hazyView attachment 109151View attachment 109160
In our best days maybe, thats a tough hike. These days the trip from the parking lot is nearly enough, but the northeast has tons of resources we can get to.You should try the hike.

This weekend, I need to finish going through (and share) my photos from Mt Pemigewasset in NH - we hiked it last weekend, and the color of the leaves was awesome.
