Tricksy locals

I got distracted and just missed the farmer's market yesterday. But I had to go into Orleans anyway and indulged in one of those local Cape Cod hacks, using the back roads.

From Dennis to Orleans, I could take 6A and fight traffic. Actually, I did just that on my way out.

Or I could pick up Route 39 to Freeman's Way to (I think) Queen Anne's and make my way from Orleans to Dennisport and it's smooth sailing. At this time of year, you'll see other cars on the road, but not *traffic*.

Knowing the back roads is one of the distinct pleasures of being local. Say the words "Mary Dunn Road" and my eyelids will flutter.
