Notes

For my 51st birthday, I traveled to Boston to visit the graves of Justices Frankfurter, Gray, Curtis, Story, and Cushing (as well as Presidents John and John Quincy Adams).  

I was staying in an AirBNB in Cambridge, so my morning started by catching bus after bus till I got south to Scituate (pronounced SIT you it). From the train station there, I got an Uber to get me the rest of the way, up a long drive in an upscale residential street that dead-ends into Cushing Memorial State Park.

Tell you what, there are front yards larger than this state park. The cemetery is roughly 50 meters from the entrance, so technically I hiked to get there. It totally counts as a hike.
