    Retro cool, the Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge is a vertical lift bridge that carries railroad…read moretraffic across the Cape Cod Canal. Like the nearby Bourne Bridge https://www.yelp.com/biz/bourne-bridge-buzzards-bay?hrid=IAkGyVCqOrFoeAIYpOSDdw, it was built in 1933 by the Public Works Administration and opened in 1935. At the time of its completion, it was the longest vertical lift span in the world. And it's my third vertical lift bridge after the one I saw in Duluth MN this year https://www.yelp.com/biz/aerial-lift-bridge-duluth?hrid=0681tZZNmBvgTDton0dANw, Memorial Bridge in Wilmington North Carolina https://www.yelp.com/biz/cape-fear-memorial-bridge-wilmington-2?hrid=yVcUY01w_5YFoQ4OWFj8xw and Tower Bridge in Sacramento https://www.yelp.com/biz/tower-bridge-sacramento?hrid=R55JOF4C4KPCupdNrQS2Ug. The bridge is operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers and is used for only railroad traffic. I stuck around for a bit but did not have an opportunity to see it in action today. Looks very cool.

    It's really hard to get a schedule of when the bridge goes up and down. Apparently a trash truck…read morecrosses twice daily. But not at set times. I finally checked the schedule for the Cape Flyer. And planted myself in the area. Lo and behold, a bell sounded and the bridge began lowering. The train crossed and 25 minutes later, the bridge rose. I am such a geek. This was so cool.

    We had a great time discovering how cranberries go from from bog to table. We hadn't known the bogs…read moreare dry most of the year and they don't wear waders like on TV. The tour was accompanied by the farm's dogs. Who provided a bit of the unexpected. A lot of fun.

    I dislike leaving less than stellar reviews, but I couldn't recommend doing a bog tour here. Your…read moreexperience in different weather may vary wildly. There's a lot of interesting and good information, and I liked the people. But.... The first half of the tour is in an old mini bus. The bus has tiny windows, like 4" square, and no air circulation. No fans. No air conditioning. Today was nearly 90 out by 10 am, when our tour started, and temperatures inside the bus got so hot that stepping out felt cool! You don't travel far, and then they stop for 10 minutes to talk about what's out the window. It's brutal. Ironically, the travel distances are so slim most people could walk it. But, just sitting on the bus in the heat? Yuck. The second half is in an old shed where you learn about harvesting. Again, it could be interesting, but it's a good 10° hotter, even with the fans going, and it makes it hard to focus. Or even listen. Better weather would have helped. But, we had an old lady in our tour group nearly pass out, and the guide indicated that that was not uncommon. Heck, complimentary water would be nice. Waters are a dollar. The tour is fifteen. It's all cash only.
