Il y en a toujours une quelque part au détour d’un chemin, une boite dont on se demande à quoi elle peut bien servir et si la prendre ferait une grande différence. Celle-là, par chance pour le reste de l’humanité, est haut perchée sur d’anciens parcs à homards et à priori, elle est à l’abri du vandalisme. Il se peut même qu’elle soit encore connectée à une ligne électrique, ce qui la protège d’autant plus. Ce que vous ne savez pas cependant, c’est si la photo a été prise avant que la boite ne soit démontée ou si elle est encore là. Il ne vous reste donc plus qu’à aller voir quelque part le long de Shore Road si vous la trouvez et dans tous les cas, quel que soit le résultat de votre recherche, vous aurez de belles vues sur les anciens parcs à homards et sur les îles de Nantucket, Ross et Great Duck au large. Ne serait-ce que pour ces raisons, cela vaut bien la peine de vous mettre en route.
You regularly see one somewhere along any path, a box you wonder what purpose it can serve, and what kind of differences it would make if you were to take it home with you. This one, fortunately for the rest of humanity, is high perched on an old lobster park and, a priori, has nothing to fear from vandalism. It may even still be connected to a power line which will protect it all the more. What you don’t know, however, is whether the picture was taken before the box was disassembled, or if it’s still there. All you have to do is go and check for yourself if you find it, somewhere along Shore Road. In any case, and whatever the outcome of your investigation, you’ll have beautiful views of the old lobster parks and Nantucket Islands, Ross Island and Great Duck Island in the distance. If only for these reasons, it’s worth taking the trip.
