Gay Head Cliffs

The Gay Head area on Martha’s Vineyard was one of the highlights on me and my wife’s day-trip to Martha’s Vineyard.  We rented a scooter and ‘raced’ to the other end of the island at a top speed of 28 mph.  When we got there, we found a cliff and a lighthouse.  I’m not sure what we expected, but we were both a little deflated when we got there.  After a couple obligatory pics from the ‘tourist stand here for a pic’ spot, we moved on.  After several minutes of wringing the poor scooter’s neck, we pulled off at another ‘tourist stand here for a pic’ spot. To my surprise and frustration, the seat compartment containing my camera was jammed shut.  I called the number for the scooter company and they never answered so we mounted our fearless scooter and headed back to the rental company.  The mechanic had to disassemble the scooter to get our stuff out which took about an hour.  New scooter, stuff, wife – GO!!!! Yeah well in the end, I’m not really sure why anyone goes to Martha’s Vineyard.  We don’t get what attracted so many people to a fairly small place.  Maybe if we had more time, we’d discover its charm or beauty or whatever it is that attracts so many people to the island.
