The Long and Bumpy Road

My friends warned of the sandy and pothole ridden road awaiting us as we drove through the darkness, on our way to Gurnet Lighthouse in Plymouth, MA.  The road that would lead us to the secluded village on Gurnet Point was not meant for my friend’s sedan, but the bumps and grooves couldn’t stop us; we had a wedding to attend.

“Go slow,” my buddy Dave warned as he stumbled out of the car with my girlfriend and two other friends, “You will bottom out.”

Following his advice I meandered through the last of the obstacles that weren’t meant for smaller cars. Nonetheless we made it all the way to the isolated, sustainable village that sits on the edge of Cape Cod Bay and Plymouth Bay.

What an amazing venue for a wedding!

As we arrived in the darkness I could barely make out the lighthouse and the surrounding area.  I would have to wait for the sun to rise to see where that long and bumpy road had taken us.  It was well worth the wait.
