Retirees Are Finding Their People At This Plymouth 55+ Community With Golf, Trails, And Clubs

Retirement can bring a strange quiet that nobody warns you about. The work calls stop, the commute ends, and suddenly the calendar has a lot of blank space. In Plymouth, Massachusetts, a growing number of retirees have found an answer tucked into the pine woods south of Boston. It is a place built around golf, walking trails, and clubs that turn neighbors into friends.

This Quiet, Sandy Massachusetts Beach On Cape Cod Hides Behind A Difficult But Wildly Rewarding Trail

For anyone who loves a walk on the beach, the Great Island Trail on the Outer Cape region of Cape Cod may make both feet and heart go pitter-patter. That's because the 3.9- or 8.8-mile trail (depending on which loop you take) takes in some of the best ocean views and sandy dunes in Massachusetts. It starts a few miles west of downtown Wellfleet, the beachy beauty of Cape Cod without crowds. From the fast-filling parking lot of Chequessett Neck Road, the trail heads south through an aromatic pitch pine forest to reach the beach. A few steps in from the parking lot, find the grave of a Wampanoag woman, now covered with shells, pebbles, pinecones, and other talismans. Discovered in 1953, the 400-year-old bones below remind hikers that they are walking on Native land.

Transformation Progresses at Century and Stuart Bogs

It’s not intuitive. When cranberry bogs are retired, repairing nature sometimes looks intrusive with big trucks and equipment on site. But it’s all very intentional: the water has been diverted for years and needs to find its way back to the flow that will benefit fish and wildlife and protect against flooding. And, left alone, invasive plants would overwhelm the former cranberry bogs. A clear design and workplan are necessary, and that often means moving mud with big trucks. You’ve seen that this fall at two projects: Stuart Bogs and Century Bogs.

Most people know him as Father Paul, but you can call him General

Hurley graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army, eventually becoming a captain of artillery in the famed 82nd Airborne Division.

YOUR VIEW: Parking lot criticism ‘missed the mark’

Reasons offered in a recent letter in the Plymouth Independent questioning the addition of 90 new parking spaces at Nathaniel Morton Elementary School missed the mark. Limiting impervious surfaces and reducing the potential for contaminant runoff into the harbor is always beneficial. But adding shared parking spaces at this location won’t change society’s preference for large vehicles; it doesn’t argue for smaller (compact) parking spaces, and it won’t reduce harmful stormwater runoff.
