On the one hand: I bit off way more than I can chew on this one given that I was trying to put stuff out quickly!

On the other hand: This is a real banger of a video. I hope you enjoy!

[EARLY] We Tried Taking Transit to MA's Least Populated Town

In fact, it's impossible to get there WITHOUT using transit - at least for one of the legs!

yessss this 45 - 60 minute videos feel like a real sweet spot for Miles content. Perfect for a listen while I'm on the elliptical or on my commute to work on Regional Rail :D

Man, the Silent Hill fog really giving those weird and remote vibes you wanted.

I worked for a small startup Internet company of about 20 people in the mid-90s. One summer we took a catamaran ride to Cuttyhunk and had a lobster bake. Was pretty cool. As a native Mainer, I had to show some people how to eat their lobsters.

I’ve always wanted to go to Cuttyhunk. I used to spend a lot of time on MV, but it got to be too crowded for my liking. Need someplace a little more off the beaten path…

I love that you always seek out the local library on these videos (even in St. Pierre!). As a librarian, I really appreciate the enthusiasm!

Max

Wow I adore this so much, such classic Miles-Nathan Massachusetts transit shenanigans. My favorite kind of Miles video

Hey Miles Your trip to Cuttyhunk was a true walk down amnesia lane. I spent my summers across the bay in Mattapoisett. In the 70’s and 80’s, our neighborhood would have a group trip to Cuttyhunk every summer. This was hard on many levels. In the early years, the folks owned these 19’ Corinthian sailboats which were slightly bigger than day sailers. The prevailing wind came straight from Cuttyhunk Island to Mattapoisett. So, the boats would have to beat into the wind for hours to get there. It was not too uncommon for it to take 5-8 hours to get to the Island but only one hour to get back from it. The other reason it was hard is, many of the small boats didn’t have any motor and couldn’t. maneuver in the inner harbor. So on Saturday we’d sail over to Quicks Hole and the kids would sleep on the beach of Nashawena Island and in the morning sail over to Cuttyhunk for the day. I’m glad you discovered the lookout bunkers. When I was a kid they weren’t sealed up like that. Also, I’m guessing the Wreckage of the huge Cuttyhunk windmill is gone. It was the largest electricity generating windmill built at the time. It didn’t succeed in part because the guy who ran the diesel generator for the Island said he’d take all his marbles and go home if it went on line, because he couldn’t make a living only providing supplemental electricity to the Island. Lastly, when I was a kid, that landing strip didn’t exist. If planes were landing, they’d land on the beach to the east of the old Coast Guard Auxiliary station, where you got the ferry. But mostly, Airline service was provided by Norman Gingras and his seaplane. He’d take off and land in the inner harbor about 80% of the time. It was a sight to see. Many times you would be amazed how he’d do it without clipping a mast or running out of harbor. During the summer the Inner Harbor would be wall to wall boats. If you get the chance, go out again in the summer, it’s a very different place.

What a nice video! That fog was really lovecraftian to me, but no giant lobster appeared

This was such a cool trip! One question though, since I love new music recommendations: what song(s) was Nathan blasting in the "minibus" on Cuttyhunk? Thanks for the John Adams recs at the end!!
