A
view
of
things
to
come

9. Woonasquatucket River Greenway Bike Path
A
quick
ride
Woonasquatucket is one of the newer bike paths in Rhode Island. I read that it was five miles long but I think it is actually closer to four miles. Three and a half maybe? It certainly isn't very long and ends before you know it. It does…More »
10. Specialized Armadillos
What the @#$%&
is a
Specialized
Armadillo?
I used to be pretty neutral about armadillos. I remember smushing one once in a while with my truck when I was out west but I really didn't have any strong feeling about them. They were kind of cute but I…More »

Pumps

bikes
Bicycle pumps are strange creatures, it seems like a pretty simple concept but for whatever reason there are some horrible and very difficult to use pumps out there. Of course cheap pumps cut costs and can be expected to be less…More »

14. Talcott Mountain State Park
Talcott Mountain is a great place, with Heublein Tower at the top and the very cool and dangerous King Philip's cave to mess around in.

19. Cuttyhunk Island
Cuttyhunk.
It's a Wampanoag word that means the end of land.
Splendid isolation is what a woman I know who lives there calls it.

that
never
changes
I love going to Prudence island. The little ferry from Bristol is inexpensive and just the trip itself pretty nice. For some fortunate reason the island was never really developed which is shocking considering how beautiful…More »
21. Nantucket Island
The dichotomy of Nantucket Island. The elite and the filthy rich, expensive stores and restaurants. Incredible crowds and congestion during the summer. I think this is all some people know because they never even bother to leave the town. However…More »

Stuff
