    Default Wow! Rhode Island is a GREAT Place to go Caching.

    That was a place Hiram would love!

    We were in this great Veterans Memorial park. It was pretty wet because of all the recent rain, but manageable. We really enjoyed seeing swans in the ponds around there (pictures will be posted later).

    But what really impressed me about the hospitality they show towards cachers, is that near the end of the hunt, sitting on a guard rail, was a full unopened bottle of Heineken!

    Sheesh! How can you not like a place like that!

    Hey Bruce,
    If you like R.I. so much, you need to update your "states I've cached in" map. Got a big (well, as big as that state can make) white spot where it should be red.
    ...so how was the beer? Unopened, yes, but cold?

    Sounds like R.I. is the place where numbers really do count...number of oz. found
    You can log FTO's there too. First to open.
    and TB's are popular. (Travel beers).

    Thanks for the link, Bruce to the 9-11 virtual cache . . . sounds like a really nice cache to visit. Thanks for thinking of me. Incidentally, there is a Bath Firefighter who is in the process of creating a 9-11 memorial cache utilizing an actual piece of one of the World Trade Center Tower's steel girders. I believe they're planning on having a dedication ceremony in July.

    This was expecially nice as they have plaques with all the names of those killed on 911. Check our log at the site to see some pictures. (This was actually in Plymouth, MA - not RI)

    One of the better 911 memorials we've seen...
