to the cape

today is sunday, the 24th day of may. monday is memorial day. summer is creeping closer day by day. i'm off to the cape later to try my hand at striper fishing. every year from roughly may to october striped bass cruise the coastal waters of new england in search of a good meal. and i'm in search too!!i''ll be fishing near the railroad bridge tonight[ an elevated structure that rises and lowers when a train passes. it's quite a feat if you see it first hand.] the canal is an amazing piece of work that slices through a long stretch of the cape making it an island instead of a peninsula, which it once was. a great place to walk, ride your bike, rollerblade and watch all manner of ships pass. it's a wonderful place to relax and take in the great outdoors. only an hour away [massachusetts not being one of the larger states, but we don't mind] it is an easy day trip. traffic can be brutal but where isn't it? cars seem to have clogged most known roads and a few others less known. can't live with em, can't live without em......so true. i would like to have seen the cape, the old cape, about 100 years ago. long stretches of sand, little fishing villages and green everywhere.....almost heaven. well thats my blog for today, if the fishing goes well there will be an update. till then, enjoy this day and every day....jack c
