We're Going on an Adventure!

We love a good adventure. As we go into fall in the time of Covid, I thought it would be fun to do a review of all the cool, outdoor things southern New England has to offer!

​Hiking

We have some really lovely places to go hiking in Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts. I've talked about Rome Point before, and just a few miles down the road is Casey Point, both are easy walks ending in some lovely ocean views.

Purgatory Chasm in Massachusetts is a great place to spend a day

Letterboxing
If you've never been letterboxing, this fall is a great time to start. As defined by Wikipedia:
      "Letterboxing is an outdoor hobby that combines elements of orienteering, art, and puzzle solving. Letterboxers hide small, weatherproof boxes in publicly accessible places (like parks) and distribute clues to finding the box in printed catalogs, on one of several web sites, or by word of mouth. Individual letterboxes contain a notebook and a rubber stamp, preferably hand carved or custom made.[1] Finders make an imprint of the letterbox's stamp in their personal notebook, and leave an impression of their personal signature stamp on the letterbox's "visitors' book" or "logbook" — as proof of having found the box and letting other letterboxers know who has visited. Many letterboxers keep careful track of their "find count".
There are tons of opportunities in southern New England, you can find clues at websites such as letterboxing.org and atlasquest.com

Kite Flying
Always a classic, there are plenty of fantastic places to go fly a kite. Some of my favorites are our local beaches, Roger Williams Park, and Goddard Park

Drive In Movies
Let's finish on my personal favorite - the drive in! Rhode Island has one of the last remaining drive in movie theaters in the country, the Rustic Tri View Drive In
