Jerimoth Hill, Rhode Island Open Access October 12, 2003

 

    It rained almost all day and the temperatures didn't get much above fifty degrees.  Chuck Bickes and Stony Burk were there, as usual.  It's always great to see them.  Chuck has 48 highpoints under his belt and Stony has 44 as of October 12, 2003.

    My brother Ben and his family visited from nearby Connecticut.  I believe it was the first highpoint for all of them.
