Minks, rats and a Cape Cod legend

Driving past a neighborhood patch of brush and wetlands, I watched as a critter, sleek and dark with a long tail, slid across the road. My brain tried to register similar animals I’ve seen on Cape Cod. But It was too small to be a fisher. And it was too far from significant water to be an otter.

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.

Cape Cod knows Kristin Ingala’s voice. Now watch what she does with her fists

Kristin Ingala , the South Dennis resident whose unmistakable Boston accent made her one of eight finalists in Massport's search for a new "Voice of Logan," didn't win that title. But the popular Chatham Squire bartender is already focused on her next title, and this time she'll lead with her fists, not her voice. A competitive boxer, Ingala is turning her full attention back to the gym, preparing to compete again in the New England Golden Gloves tournament, Jan. 7-25, 2027. And, after that, take the next step in her fighting career. "I am channeling the focus into boxing and hopefully after the Golden Gloves this year I will turn pro," she said. The "Voice of Logan" contest was a "wicked crazy ride," Ingala wrote in a Facebook post, after public voting had closed but before the winner was announced Nov. 5. The contest, which sought a voice that could offer a welcoming first impression to travelers at Boston Logan International Airport, drew nearly 6,000 entries before the final eight were selected. Ingala said she was disappointed not to take that title, which went to Chris Donisi of Burlington, but she's taking it in stride. And the experience brought a
