Dogtown, Gloucester, MA   Review: * to ****
Take 128 north towards Gloucester. Before you get into the city limits of Gloucester you will pass over a large bridge spanning a salt water river. Shortly after you pass over this bridge, route 128 will enter a large traffic circle (Grant Circle). Follow this circle 270 degrees around and exit off on route 127 (towards Annisquam). Follow route 127 for about 1/2 mile and it will curve to the right and pass over a small bridge and some salt water. Immediately after you cross the bridge, route 127 will curve around to the left. You do NOT want to follow 127 to the left, instead take a right onto Reynard Street. Follow Reynard to the end (1/4 mile) and turn right onto Cherry Street. The O'Maley school will be about 1/4 mile down on the right. Meet in the large lot.
