Rhode Island #21, backyard open for business

Rhode Island's high point is on private property. Basically it is in someone's backyard. The owner's have been so kind as to provide a trail from the road that is open 8am to 4pm everyday of the year. We made it just 30 minutes before close thanks to our failed attempts at highpointing Connecticut and Massachusetts earlier in the day. Rufus wasn't interested in posing for the scary camera...but he's got a great hero pose!

Here is the beginning of the short trail to the highpoint. Although the trail was well marked, we let Rufus lead the way.
Before retiring to our awesome Extended Stay America hotel in Providence, we visited Newport, RI. Here the Buf finds out that sea water doesn't taste so good.
