The skeletal remains of the amusement park (Rocky Point) are still there, sometimes the victim of arsonists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Point_Amusement_Park BTW, for giggles, check out the link at the bottom of the wikipedia page that directs viewers to other topics related to "Rhode...

Not to worry. It's still safely tucked away on a side street by City Hall. Yes, even with Buddy no longer "working" next door! forestgnome: I used to live in Warwick, and would drive occasionally through/by Wickford on my way to the beach. I always thought it was a kinda cute town!

Ummm, is "because it's there" too much of a cliche??? :D

Way to go, Bobby! Nice trip report _ and gotta love the pic of Homer in the spruce trap! :D

Sad to say, work kept me later than usual yesterday so I missed the festivities. The lineup looked really awesome too. Hope everyone had a good time!

Excuse my ignorance, but am I reading this right, Una_Dogger _ a marathon and half-marathon in snowhoes???? Yikes! Great job everyone!

Wonderful trip report, McRat -- one of the best I've read in a long time. Your descriptions really put me there on the trail with you. Sounds like a magical trip!

I'm planning to be there on Wednesday. Looking forward to it!

Dave: I like in the first photo how the skiers tips are reflected back in his goggles. That's awesome! Too bad that danged padded pole and orange rope are in the way -- maybe you can airbrush those out??? :)

I don't know if it'll make a difference in preventing the leaking, but I use a camelback and carry it in an insulator bag (the silver cloth thingie; yes, that's highly technical). Not only does it protect against getting dinged by gear, but it keeps the water cool.

My spare tire is my belly. Maybe it's too many of those donuts TomRankin was talking about! :eek: ;) Tom _ glad to see it was a woman who was able to come to your rescue! You can never count on AAA!

I had a feeling you guys were all from Mars (yes, I'm from Venus!) :p

Hang tough, Doug! I hope you're able to get out and about soon!

I'd love to see pix if you've got 'em. It's a special place _ and must be even more magical in winter!

As probably the newest resident of NY... I'm frankly torn about this proposal. On one hand, I don't see how adding a section really interferes with the experience that New England-based hikers have with VFTT. It's one extra section that can be easily ignored if you're not interested in checking...

That's neat! Thank god they gave up the idea of trying to patch him up and rebuild him with plastic molding, or whatever the plan was. This seems much more fun, quirky and appropriate.

Gee, it's a shame that since you all signed it in ink that it's not something I could ever get washed, thus, I won't ever be able to wear it! ;)

Thanks to each of you for the fine welcome to New Yawk! It was great to see some old friends and meet some new ones _ and to toast it with some fine brews!

That's some amazing terrain, Tony! Thanks for sharing the pix. It's always fun to see something different than the mountains we have here!

Dang, I'd have difficulty adjusting to either of those wardrobes and various, um, accoutrements! :eek: I may be able to wiggle out of the other engagement I had that evening. If so, I'll be there by 6:30 with bells on! And maybe my new Yankees cap! :D
