Amrita Island, Old Silver Beach & Scraggy Neck

Trying to take advantage of the nice fall days as much as possible!  We went out for a few hours one morning, first to Amrita Island.  I just love that old stone bridge.  The island has a fascinating history which can be found HERE.  

Imagine getting to live here!!!! WOW!  I think it's used for programs in the summer.

My goal on this trip was to walk down to the 'Love is Eternal' tomb which involves using a path that skirts the big mansion.  It's a public right of way.

One of my friends was married here in 1990 as his family owned one of the large homes on the island.  The Baxendales, who were the original owners of the island and mansion, are interred here.

Couldn't resist.

Next stop was Old Silver Beach in Falmouth.  It was low tide but the beach glass selection was really poor, although I did find a Niagara Falls keychain which was cool.

Our third and last stop was Scraggy Neck where I had better luck with glass.  Russell found 3 really great pieces!

It was perfect, weather-wise.

Amrita Island

After we left Scraggy Neck, we drove a short distance to check out the stone bridge that leads to Amrita Island.  There is a gorgeous mausoleum on the island but I'm not sure how to access it without crossing someone's private property.  And the homes here are old mansions and the families from old money.  We didn't want to take the chance!  

Amrita Island has a lovely history, found HERE.  One of my friends was married at the 'Love is Eternal' mausoleum in 1990 because her husband's family owned one of the mansions at the time.

I never heard of, or saw any pictures, of this place until the above-linked article circulated on Facebook last week.  

As we were walking back to the car, Russell spied this Kindness Rock Project rock!  I was so excited to find one!!! 

We drove onto the island to check it out but there were no good places to park and A LOT of video surveillance cameras set up.  Isn't this place AMAZING?  The mausoleum is located in the front yard of this mansion, and even though all the shades are down and it appears to be unoccupied, we didn't dare park and get out!

I am hoping to go back later this year and try and get permission to take pics of the mausoleum.
