Browns Point Lighthouse:

Was here looking for this, which we did.

The "lighthouse" doesn't actually have a light, but uses a racon beacon. It is unmanned.

Been here before to find a geocache (Ghosts of Runways Past). http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?id=91641

Much of the original airfield has been built upon. The rest is run by the city parks department. Theres some sort of electrical substation nearby.

There are still remains of the paved runway and taxiway. The runway line is still visible; I presume the runway number is buried under the dirt and grass that is reclaiming the land.

Part of the building is now devoted to the Science Fiction Hall of Fame And Museum, apparently reflecting another love of Paul Allen's.

You're not supposed to take pictures inside, but, whatever.

Boston Museum of Science:

We spent most of a day during our one-week trip to Boston at Museum of Science. While there was lots of new stuff, and some old stuff gone that I missed, there were a number of things that simply hadn't changed, which made me feel right at home.

Fort Vancouver National Historic Site:

Plymouth Rock:

Thumbnail
Thumbnail
Some have called it "the most disappointing landmark in America". Plymouth Rock, believed to be the rock the Pilgrims first set foot on, is about a meter wide and half a meter high, with a few cracks filled in with concrete, and the number "1620" carved into one side. It lies in the sand beneath a grand portico (easily ten times its size in area and over 15 feet high) on the souvenir-shop-littered waterfront of Plymouth, MA.

You walk up, look down, see the rock, stare at it for a bit to see if you can find something interesting about it, and then lose interest. Presumably you then walk across the street to one of dozens of shops selling shirts and knick-knacks with something New Englandy on it.

All is not lost. Mayflower II is a short walk up the street, and Plimoth Plantation is barely the next town over.

I went here for the first time just a few weeks ago on a trip back East to visit family. My mother lives a few towns over. The native village is very educational and intriguing, and sobering. The colony is a lot of fun, everyone is in character, and there are certainly some characters!

Gallows Hill:

The water tower in the park was a popular spot for a few friends of mine to visit (one friend lived very close to here). In senior year of high school we chose to do a short film for a law class project, involving a drug deal gone bad and a subsequent bumbled prosecution. We filmed the deal up here, and a bit on the steps of the Salem District Court (q.v.).

I also had a friend who insisted she could channel her past lives up here, believing that she had been a witch in a past life. It didn't occur to her that none of the accused witches ever admitted to witchcraft and it is widely believed today they were the victims of catty girls and mass hysteria.
