As an Oregonian who grew up in Nevada and attended school in California, I

found this statement to be pretty amusing. :-)

The county I grew up in is at least the same size as Mass, if not larger.

was part of everything, then I was also part of bridge and stream, of the

sharp rocks beneath the water and the tumbling, rushing waters. Even if I

fell into the waters, and even if I was swallowed up by them, I would still

be part of it all. In such a world, such a universe, nothing terrible

could happen to me. " --- Furlong

They're off, in a ziplock bag. They are both speechreaders, and we'll sign

to clarify.

I'm still interested in a NE get together if one is being planned.

MA is a big state, with tons of opportunities. Which part of Mass were you

thinking of?

In western MA, there's Riverside Amusement Park, for one. For a picnic,

there's a great little park in Northampton called Look Park that has picnic

areas that can be reserved. It's a beautiful area. It also has a few small

attractions like bumper boats, a small narrow gauge railroad, ballfields, a

sprinkler park, and paddleboats. Costs a buck to get in. There are also

lots of state parks and forests around, although lots of these sites can be

booked, we'd have to check.

There's also the beach in RI, CT, and MA.

Anyone else from the area, chime in...

The only portion of MA I am familiar with is the north shore area so I doubt

I'll be much help.

I'm a big amusement park fan!! But Look Park might appeal more to the

small children...

Just my .02!
