Hi everybody--

Looking forward to this trip! Here are a few notes if you're planning to come:

-Check this message board before you leave in case of any changes.

-Rain date is Sun 7/10

-Boats should be 14' and longer. If yours is shorter and you're planning to come, you should be a stronger-than-average paddler.

-We'll stop halfway through, so bring your early lunch, late breakfast, brunch or whatever.

-If you have any questions you can reply to this post or text me at 401-480-7799 anytime.

Looking forward to seeing you!

—Caryl

Yes...you'll see the tennis courts and playground by the entrance and a large dirt parking lot. See you then!

Wow...you got great pictures! I'm glad you enjoyed the trip...I certainly did.
I was trying to find out something about that object in the sky, and it appears that MIT has a research station at Round Hill (the mansion on the point) and they're doing something with balloons.

How neat about MIT!! I’d love to see more photos if anyone else got them.
