Jeppy: In the Berkshires, Ashintully Gardens is all outdoors and free, and Berkshire Botanical Gardens is all outdoors, and I believe it is free on Tuesdays.

Thanks RR, but due to my green challenge I am now vacationing closer to home than the Berkshires. My radius includes parts of Massachusetts as well as southern New Hampshire, where they have a nice live free or die philosophy many places.

Private businesses should absolutely have the right to turn me away if I don't wear a mask, and they will not get my business. And when the economy goes into a recession all these nice extras like historic houses will be in trouble and I will not feel one bit sorry.

I think you are in the north central part of MA? These are a couple of places I have bookmarked that might be within your range.

Thanks Rosa. Those look interesting.

Despite covid cases rising my Board of Health is not even meeting this month. They may have learned their lesson. I have put in for a vacation next month as I do not think I will need my days for a hunger strike.

I found two doctors in the county east of me, affiliated with a different hospital system, accepting my insurance and new patients and emailed through the portal to see if they will take me as a patient maskfree. So no postage costs this time. Have not tried anyone in NH yet.

The City Council will be voting on the budget soon and I plan to attend and ask them to defund the Board of Health. It would save us close to a million dollars. This does not include trash pickup, which is a separate line item in the budget for $2 million+ more.

Yppej, I thought of you last week. Third time visiting this new doctor in Maine. She has never allowed me to take my mask off. I told my husband, I could have no lower jaw for all she knows. . .

Then she all need to come to see my physician in Missouri. Her staff of 3 who sat in the exam room with me whipped off their masks after asking me if it was OK with me if they did so. The second time I went no one in there was wearing a mask and there was not even a conversation about it.

If the price of gas were lower I might consider it. At one time I was trying to get in with an eye doctor in West Virginia but then after responding initially they ghosted me.

Our main system is down at work today and I have lots of time so I figured this was a sign from God that I should spend some more time working on finding a doctor. I located 4 doctors in New Hampshire within a half hour to 45 minutes of my home who take my insurance and are accepting new patients. I am writing letters to them to see if they will take me as a maskfree patient. I told them if they accept me I will be grateful and even if Massachusetts later lifts its mask mandate for health care settings I will stick with them.
