Tour Explores Glories of Wasque and Cape Pogue

Maeve Reston |

The Wasque Reservation sandplain curves downward to the dunes disappearing into the indigo waves of Katama Bay off Chappaquiddick. The white-crested breakers recede into fog above the ocean. A large pick-up truck, which has been converted to a safari vehicle, rumbles along sandy roads and onto the beach, past Wasque Point toward Drunkard’s Cove. Its riders are jostled about in the back. They bump shoulders and exchange good-natured smiles, their fingers wrapped tightly around their binoculars. Five-year-old Anna Brody thinks the ride in the safari truck is the best part of the trip.

One of my duties in the Chappy fire department years ago was to speak at the Chappaquiddick Island Association meetings about the need to cut back the vegetation along driveways so that the firefighters could get to a house fire without knocking equipment off the sides of the trucks.
