Andrea’s Vacation Tips
Sightseeing
10 minute walk down-hill through the woods arriving at a beautiful waterfall. Path well traveled, but can be slippery at times. Park at the dirt parking area in front of a tall wooden fence with gate marked "Pleasant Ridge Transfer Station," but do not block the gate. Path is just north of the parking area over a small hill.

City advice
Getting around
Take exit 133, don't follow your GPS!
GPS will try to divert you off I95 before exit 133, ignore it. You will take the bumpy, rural, not-so-scenic route to get to Bingham if you don't take Exit 133.
Getting around
You may not have cell phone coverage!
US Cellular and Verizon are the leading companies here in the Bingham area. Any others are typically dropped hours south of us.
