Provincetown, MA 10 July 2007

We are still in Provincetown. The are reduce visibility conditions on the ocean north of us so we want to wait for awhile as the waters have extensive fishing activity and major shipping lanes into Boston Harbor. A scene on the beach near the warves.

We walked to the Atlantic side of the Cape. The area has extensive dunes. The walk turned out to be further than the little tourist map indicated and a one of the park rangers was kind enough to give us a lift for the last couple of miles.

A restored sea rescue station on the coast. Originally there were 13 of these in the 1800's along the coast. During the days of sailing ships there have been hundreds of ships lost on this dangerous shoreline.

These small pine trees hold the sand in place.

Ther dune areas are still pretty extensive.
