We arrived at the rock and were able to park very close. However, the bus had to move before we returned! Most of us rushed to see the rock and get our photos taken under the sign.
Click the photos once or twice to see larger views.

It is interesting to note that there is no record of any of the pilgrims actually stepping on the rock, as legend would have us believe. So, actually, this rock has little, if any, significance. I guess the significance is that it is getting lots of tourists to come and buy souvenirs! A number of our people also took the time to quickly tour the Mayflower II. I remember when this ship sailed to America.
All along the way this week we saw buildings with these white chimneys. The significance is the white and black chimney signifies a "Safe House".
This was our final day in New England and we left with anxiety to be home but also regret because there is so much more to see. Our trip was fantastic with perfect weather. Cool but not cold and sunny. The only rain we had during this trip was at 3AM.
