Touring the Vineyard

Laurie and I have spent the past 2 1/2 days touring towns, beaches, and lighthouses on the Vineyard. We've ventured down many roads that start as pavement, then become maintained dirt, then deteriorate to two barely-visible tracks carpeted with leaves and
obviously not traveled for weeks. Although the clay cliffs at Aquinnah are beautiful, the portion of the Vineyard referred to as "up island" (because it's higher in elevation than the north or east portion) is certainly more sparsely populated and more desolate. I'm happy with my town of Vineyard Haven, though Oak Bluffs (OB) is charming, and having finally made it down to South Beach and Katama Beach, I see where the truly striking and gorgeous beaches are!
