Very well. Maybe I was a bit grumpy. RI is fine. Born and raised in Wickford. It's a fine place to visit.
Rhode Island High Point - are you game?

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!

I still like my Warwick, NY better than Warwick, RI. The hiking is definitely better on the AT and the only thing that i remember i sort of liked about my visit to my cousin city was the quaint amusement park. Is is still there? I thought the best hike in RI was the Cliff Walk on Newport, RI.

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 Island culture"!
My particular favorite is a section on the "big blue bug": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Blue_Bug

I checked this out and other things too such as Jonnycakes and Swamp Yankee. Then I thought it would be fun to see what was listed for the culture of my home state.
Sadly, it appears that there is no "New Hampshire culture"...

Aawww yeah! And Clamcakes!
Of course, that's all way back in my non-vegan past.

No, you were safe then, too. There were never any clams in the clamcakes. They were dough-cakes.
Back on topic ... if you hike Jerimoth Hill in winter, please do not posthole!!! You will ruin it for everyone. And there is no reason for a nature call during this short hike. Sheesh.

I would guess there isn't any snow there. It has been pouring rain around here and even deep in the woods behind my parents house which is a short drive from the HP, it is bare . . . you can safely leave the snowshoes home for this trip.

Just make sure that you don't leave any postholes!sli74 said:you can safely leave the snowshoes home for this trip.
Is it still a posthole if the medium is mud rather than snow?

anything (and I mean anything) goes in RI -
Though, I live one town over the border in mass, I am and will always be a "rhode islander" - in fact, I still sing that catchy song that use to be on channel 10 many years ago...."the biggest little state in the union"
best part - no deposits on beer cans/bottles.
mayor buddy and the woonsocket rockets - its all good.

Although I'm also a native RIer, I've never hiked up Jerimoth Hill. I prefer the more technical challenges offered by the Central Landfill.
