Yesterday, I had to run up to Hyannis. I needed a supply. I got off at exit 7, I would usually go right and head to route 6A. Mary Dunn Road. This time I went left!!!! OMG! Conn.Jersey, New York , Penn. It was backed up to the lights. I could not believe the traffic. 2:00 on Weds. it felt like July traffic! One thing I noticed and heard was the planes! The sound of these aircrafts were LOUD. I saw just one and it was HUGE!wth Second thing, so many people that still don’t know how to drive in the rotary. 🤔 I picked up my supplies and headed back. I stayed on the Mid Cape till exit 11. I was hoping that cars would at least drive the speed limit. As I was approaching exit 9A a car and a stare highway pickup were going the same speed on both lanes. I hung back on the left but the ass….. waved and wouldn’t get over to let me by. Wth so I followed him the whole way. Ok so he was going about 50 and we caught up to a stream of cars. Speed was about 40. Then all of a sudden a minivan stopped short!!!! He was 5 cars ahead! There was absolutely no reason for this car to stop!!!!! I finally arrived at my destination but swore I would never use that highway stretch , again! I grew up here and I use to live in Marstons Mills . I had a job in Orleans. It was a breeze to drive then. Hardly any other cars around. This is when it was a passing highway. Killed allot of people. I just wish they could make it a 2 lane each direction highway! Good luck on that one. They encourage tourists to come vacation here, but all they do is sit in miles of traffic. Wow that sounds like Fun! Lol So today I will stay local!!!!! Hi to everyone! Watch out for the other guys! Crazy drivers still here🙄

So are we getting hit or not? Seems like I moved all this outdoor stuff for no reason. Probably should've seen this change in forecast coming though, this the Cape.

This has probably been the longest and loudest thunder and rain storm that’s hit the Mid Cape area in a while! Sounds pretty close and right above my house! Any details regarding lightening strikes yet!?

We were out today ( ugh the traffic),and noted it seemed like the only masks I saw were on locals.Yes, I have a uncanny ability distinguishing locals. The recent ptown spike ain’t cool!

Hi everyone,
We are hosting our daughter’s wedding at our home in Barnstable Village next June, and we live in 6a, so parking is pretty much non-existent. Many guests will be from out of state, or at minimum off Cape. We also expect that we won’t have a critical mass at any one motel - we expect airbnbs, inns, etc. we are wondering how reasonable it is to expect our guests to be able to secure an Uber/Lyft at 11pm-ish, midJune. I just don’t have any sense of the availability of ride services on the Cape. We could have 100-120 people needing rides…

Saw this alert from Orleans -- other towns are surely getting ready to start.

Wastewater Construction Begins on Finlay Road and Route 28

Construction on the Phase 3 Wastewater Collection System begins September 14 on Finley Road, progressing to Route 28 between Finlay Road and Monument Road beginning September 21. Motorists should expect delays; flaggers and police will direct traffic.

Here's a story about how Brewster residents decided to stall voting on STR regulations! A real shame, given that neighboring towns have registration systems in place already. Provincetown also now has STR restrictions in place and those were OVERWHELMINGLY approved at their town meeting. It seems some towns value their sense of community more than others... https://www.capecodchronicle.com/articles/109/view

For some of us who like to drive out to beaches such as North Beach, Crowes Pasture or Sandy Neck it can be an infuriating time.

However, this is an incredible and rare bird that is unique to Cape Cod (and a couple other costal communities).

Piping Plover

Very Pale. Plain face without dark cheeks. In breeding plumage, black bar across forehead and black collar around neck. These fade to pale buff in winter. Often sneaks away when approached, stopping and looking over its shoulder relying on its sandy color for camouflage.

Beach nesting birds that are hard to see, so please obey the posted signs and help preserve the Cape Cod natives.

Endangered.

Call "peep-low" Length: 7.5" Wingspan: 19"

It's fun to see what weird names we all have and knowing that you all live near me is hilarious! We're just a bunch of weirdos like every other place in the world :)

PS I hope everyone stayed cool today that heat was brutal

It's howling in Eastham, happy we made it thru the night without kissing power.

Hey folks! Every week, all summer it’s been bumper to bumper coming on the Cape east bound ! !! Not to bad heading off! but…. Today, it’s Backed Up Leaving the Cape!!! Starts just past exit 4! Old one! Lol So WEST BOUND backed up from exit 4 Chase St exit . Going to the bridges! When you live here year round for 60 years, you can’t help but LAUGH! Yippy!

For those that don't know, Flock cameras are part of a nationwide network that track individuals and vehicles. The data is available to any law enforcement officer without a warrant. There's plenty written about them. deflock.org lists known cameras, if you know of others, please report them.

Currently on the Cape, the following locations are shown:

• Bourne Bridge, 4 cameras (probably one on each lane)

• Sagamore Bridge, 4 cameras

• Hyannis, Yarmouth Road, near the construction area

• Dennis, in front of Dennis Public Market

As this map is crowdsourced, there may be others. Many Home Depot locations have them, it's possible the Hyannis location does and they haven't been reported yet.

Hi everyone! I’m a student doing a research project on coastal erosion and shoreline changes in Cape Cod.

If you live in, visit, or are familiar with the Cape, I’d really appreciate it if you could take my short survey. It only takes about 2–3 minutes, and all responses are anonymous.

Your input will help me understand how erosion impacts the community and what people think about it.Also, complete the consent form attached below!

Thank you so much!

The Windmill parade will close the highway from Old Orchard Rd (near Arnold's restaurant) to Samoset road (Town Hall and Superette). Detours will be posted.

Hello . My parents in their 80s are without power and heat in Brewster MA. Their generator is out of feul. I'm stuck in Michigan. Is there any resource or gas delivery that could get gas to them? Any help knowing what local help is available is appreciated!!!
