Old Cape Cod

Fortunate for me, Chris grew up on Cape Cod, one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Every summer we try to spend as much time there visiting his family and enjoying the beautiful ocean. Our favorite hidden haunt is a place that Chris spent much time growing up, and even more time as we grow older. The Cornelia Carey Sanctuary (The Knob), is a 13-acre wooded path at Quissett Harbor in Falmouth, MA that leads to one of the most amazing ocean views on cape, an almost 360* ocean view. A bench at the end is a great spot to think, rest, dream, or watch a sunset like never before.

Here are some highlights of a recent trip.

Above: A sign at the entrance gives visitors an appropriate warning about littering and behavior at the knob.
Above: Chris is always eager to lead the way.
Above: Most of the way is easy dirt trails, but even some steps have been built along the path.

Above: Even in the middle of the woods we are usually not without an ice cofee.
Above: This is not a bad first image when you exit the woods.Above: This is the knob from a short distance.

Above: Stone steps have been carved out at one point so visitors can go dip their toes in the ocean water.
Above: The Atlantic.
Above: Is Chris at the edge of the Knob or the Edge of the World?
Above: At low tide it is fairly easy to get over to the rock for a nice spot to sit in the sun.
Above: I feel like the king of the World when I stand here.
Above: It is always saddening to leave, but at least I have my ice coffee.
