Roadtripping through Massachusetts
Speaker 1: Massachusetts.
Speaker 2: Where should we go?
Speaker 3: I think we should go to Cape Cod. I've been wanting to go there for ages.
Speaker 1: That sounds like fun.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: What about if we go sailing on Nantucket?
Speaker 3: Where do you want to go?
Speaker 2: Martha's Vineyard.
Speaker 3: Yes. All right, cheers! Let's do it!
Speaker 1: To Massachusetts.
Speaker 3: To Massachusetts.
Speaker 2: I wasn't going to say anything, but I just booked this amazing trip.
Speaker 1: For what?
Speaker 2: For us while we're here.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Which is?
Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you. Until we get there later.
Speaker 3: Oh, come on.
Speaker 2: I'm keeping it as a surprise. You guys are going to love it.
Speaker 3: So incredible. What? Wow, what a ride.
Speaker 4: How was it guys? You like it?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm speechless.
Speaker 4: Life changing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no. Yeah, that's a good way to see Cape Cod.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we get that often. It's the best experience.
Speaker 1: What year is this plane?
Speaker 4: This aircraft is a replica of a mid 30s. It's called a WACO YMF-5. The airfield has been here since 1929, and we're just trying to kind of continue the barnstorming type activity, and antique aviation.
Speaker 4: The amount of lakes and ponds is something that people usually catch their attention. The marshes is something that you can't experience any way but from the sky cause you can take a boat, but you can't go through the marsh, and seeing it at eye level isn't the same as seeing it from above.
Speaker 2: I've always wanted to fly as a superhero power, so it's pretty much the coolest thing. My dreams have been accomplished.
Speaker 4: Bucket list type item, yeah?
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 5: We've been driving Dune Tours, my family, for 73 years. Yeah, I'm about to take you to what I call the Outback of Provincetown. We have 4,000 acres of sand dunes, beaches and forest land that are all part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. It's protected coastline. It's really cool.
Speaker 5: There's quite a lot of history out here, a lot of stories, and we pride ourselves on taking generations of families out here. And as we drove through there you saw how pristine the land was, and those interesting little dune shacks. We're at the very Eastern most point of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: I didn't know Massachusetts looked like this.
Speaker 3: The sand dunes here.
Speaker 1: This is beautiful.
Speaker 3: How's it going?
Speaker 6: Welcome to Bad Martha's. We have a focus on local ingredients. We have eight different beers on tap right now. We try and do a wide variety and just sort of cater to everyone. We put a handful of grape leaves from the Island in every batch, goes in with our grain build. We have a beer coming out called Shark Bite, which is a jalapeno cucumber lager. We actually just brewed an oyster stout. We partnered with a local, sustainably harvested oyster farm here on the Island. They bring in a whole bushel for us and we basically take them in the back, shuck them right there on site, and we put them in basically in a big tea bag. And they came in yesterday, they showed our brewer how to shuck, he showed them how to brew, and we actually have a beer with, you know, a bag full of oysters basically flavoring it.
Speaker 2: Oh that's super yummy.
Speaker 1: That sounds delicious.
Speaker 1: This is great guys, I love this brewery.
Speaker 2: Oh my God.
Speaker 3: Can you believe how much local stuff they use?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so farm-to-table. I wasn't expecting that.
Speaker 1: All right. So what do you think guys? We should probably get out of here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sounds good.
Speaker 2: Let's do it. Cheers, guys!
Speaker 2: What got you started in oyster farming?
Speaker 7: Well, my dad started it like 10 years ago. There was just so much business, so just keep it local.
Speaker 2: What is different about your oyster farm from other oyster farms?
Speaker 7: Everything here is on the bottom, so our oysters look way different. Ours are green from the algae, any grass and mud and stuff. And that just kind of dictates the flavor.
Speaker 1: Are you ready, Sutter?
Speaker 8: First important thing: Get in the water; clear your bodies right on top of the board; keep your chest up; paddle, paddle, paddle; feel the push. Right foot front foot, stay lower, got it!
Speaker 1: Great way to end the trip. You guys, what you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1: So what was your favorite part?
Speaker 3: Cape Cod.
Speaker 1: I loved Nantucket.
Speaker 3: Everything's are so idyllic.
Speaker 1: Truly relaxing here.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's super great.
Speaker 1: It's just a dream come true, you guys. Next year again?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
