Watch this week's Cape Cod Chronicle (and the website on Wednesday) for stories about a proposed bike lane on Long Pond Road in Harwich, an update on the new police department-town hall annex project in Chatham, a feature on the Pleasant Bay Community Boating program, and photos from Monday's Taste of Chatham, last week's Music in The Port stroll, and an old-time baseball game in Harwich! The Cape Cod Chronicle is a weekly newspaper providing information about Chatham, Harwich and the lower Cape.
PHOTO: The Cape Cod Rail Trail follows a former railroad right-of-way for 22 miles through the towns of Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham and Wellfleet. Its paved surface, few hills, and well-marked automobile crossings make it ideal for cyclists. The trail has a wide unpaved shoulder on one side to accommodate horseback riding, walkers, and runners.
We are hosting the teenaged daughter of a close friend for a few days here on Cape Cod while before she visits her aunt down in New York City. The weather hasn't been great, but yesterday was forecasted to clear up, so we looked around for an outdoor activity. We ended up letting our guest choose between a whale watch and kayaking with the Mass Audubon Society, and she picked the kayaking trip.The trips are run by Mass Audubon's Long Pasture facility. The cost is $40 per person, and all equipment is provided (although some people on the trip did bring their own kayaks and paddles). Trips run throughout the summer and can be booked at 508.362.7475 ex. 9355. The trips are scheduled based on the tides. Ours was a late afternoon paddle, from 3-6 PM. The starting point was the public landing at the Herring River in Harwich MA. - Thanks for this Dispatch from DayTripper Rick S., Gather.
