Day Five At Fantasia Fair In Provincetown MA

Yesterday, I went on the dune tour, it was excellent! The tour started off at Race Point and went along the beach then up into the dunes and came out at Pilgrim Lake. As we drove along the beach there were about a dozen of seals in the water and one of them when he looked at us had a fish in its mouth.

We drove on the beach with the pounding surf on one side and the dune cliffs on the other side…

We turned off into the dunes, the driving put the car into four wheel drive and climbed up into the dunes.

As we were driving along, the driver was explaining that the shacks that are in the dunes are artist shacks and there were something 18 or 19 shacks still left in the National Seashore. She said that they have a lottery system where you can enter your name in the lottery to get a chance to stay in the primitive shacks with no electricity or running water. From what the drive said there is a three year waiting list. They are writers who love the solitude or painters who come to paint the dunes and seashore.

A few of the fancier shacks have solar panels of some type; you can see one off in the distant…

Here we all are, the four SUVs from Fantasia Fair. The white one with the door open was the one I was in; the door was open because I was running back and forth changing my camera lens.

As we drove along we passed this shack which was an observation post during World War II. They used it to look out for German submarines that were attacking shipping along the coast.

I wished the tour lasted longer, but it was over in an hour.
