July 24th Fun stuff today as well-

Today, the goal was to knock out National Park stamps I was missing-  

In order, I visited Harvard University, to hit the Co Op for a shopping trip, Fredrick Law Olmstead, Adams, and attempted to reach a stamp at Peddocks Island which is part of the Boston Harbor Islands, but misread the directions- the stamp is actually on the island, which required a boat trip.  

I also went to Hull, Mass, and saw one of the most interesting museums so far on the trip, the Hull Lifesaving Museum.  Learned a terrific amount from one of the best guides/volunteers I've encountered so far.  I'll post the details.  Also saw a couple of lighthouses, the Boston Harbor Light, and the Grave Shoal Light, which were out in the harbor.  Had visited Boston Harbor before, and had gotten the stamp.  I also got two stamps at the Lifesaving Station. Super trip- some bad traffic- but still got home by 315.  About 125 miles for the day.

Saw these plates today:


Here's the trip and stops:
