Our third day brought us to Plymouth Memorial State Park, site of
where the pilgrims landed in the Mayflower in 1620.
Before reaching the historic Plymouth Rock, we made an unexpected,
but pleasant stop in Brewster Gardens, where we saw swans floating in the pond,
and had lunch surrounded by a large gaggle of geese and safe of ducks.
Once we arrived at Plymouth Rock, we were surprised by how small it
was. We also walked by the replica Mayflower, which was docked at the edge of
the harbor. The center of town, located along the coast, was very charming. We
walked around a couple of gift shops and had ice cream before continuing on our
bikes.
The next leg of the day's ride was a challenge. We rode some intense
hills. 
After walking our bikes across the Sagamore Bridge, with a great view
of the Cape Cod Canal, we finally made it to our destination at Shawme-Crowell
State Park in Sandwich, Massachusetts. We covered around 26 miles for the day,
and arrived at camp ready to rest, refuel and head for our next day's journey to
Falmouth. -- Trip leaders Annise and Corey
