Cliff Walk and Wolf Hill

I love the heat, so I thought the perfect activity would be a long, tough hike.

Slater Mill in Pawtucket

Will and I spent a day in his hometown of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. On my visits to Pawtucket before, I had noticed Slater Mill, and knew it was a historic building of some kind, and thought it was pretty and wanted to take a look. Will agreed that it was a place that should be […]

So much Newport, Part II

Heading into Memorial Day weekend, Will and I visited Fort Adams State Park. The timing was serendipitous and we benefitted by being able to see a Boots on the Ground for Heroes Memorial, put on by Operation Stand Down Rhode Island.

The visitor’s center was closed because the government is shut down. No comment. My five days in Rhode Island were to see my friend Will, who was my guide and chauffeur. […]
