Once a place of despair, mischief and mystery, Dogtown is now place for inspirational hikes. This is a follow up to Episode 2: Ghost Towns and Phantom Roads and Episode 6: The Accursed Land. In this episode we focus in the physical transformation of Dogtown by Roger Babson and the historical preservation of the cellar hole sites. Visit the episode blog for photographs and details. You will need three maps: 1. Dogtown Cellar Hole Map, 2. Babson Boulder Map 3. Dogtown Trail Map (shout out to Cape Cod author Eric Bickernicks for collecting all of this information).
