They normally start service after Memorial Day and end service after Labor Day, it's a fast ferry as well, I think they only go a few times daily. Not sure what their running times are

I just finished reading it. WTF the issues in the book are exactly what needs to be discussed with young people today!

I've experienced a lot of 6/7 run ins with these groups, generally Allens Ave, the park with the pedestrian bridge and weybossett streets. They take over multiple lanes, ride head on to get you to move to the side, run red lights, its so dangerous- and even more so at night. Dirt bikes in the groups ride sidewalks.. I sincerely don't feel bad for any of those operators. I do believe there should be a place for them to ride, but logistically how would it work? They're going to ride via streets to get to it.

I happened to be in the same position today and found this: http://atoz.rirrc.org/items/vacuums I haven't tried it yet, but I think I'll try Best Buy. Has anyone tried recycling a vacuum at Best Buy around here? Edit: fixed link

Check out "Trails and Walks RI"... you'll find descriptions of most of Rhode Island's hiking trails.

It's not southern.
Make your way 15 minutes outside of pretty much any city in the country and your encounter this backwards behavior.

Take the Uber to the Hyatt Place next door to the car rental, you can take the elevator in the parking lot next to the hotel up to the car rental counters from there

Maxwell May's in Coventry is well taken care of and they have some smaller trails that are great for starting out. Even on the smaller (1 mile) trails they also have a lot of different scenery.

Are there neighborhoods to avoid? I am worried about my car insurance if I hit one of them.

You must not have gotten the memo, every cultural development that people don't like was a conspiracy

Okay so you’re not going to get around the threat of ticks because the buggers are everywhere (not just tall grass). I usually just wear like a tight full body outfit when I go hiking and that’s been pretty effective at keeping ticks off of me. Like I’ll do running tights with crew socks and thing a tight-ish 3/4 sleeve top. You also probably want to pick up a mirror, some tweezers, and scotch tape to tick check yourself afterwards (if you get a tick, you can squish it between the tape and bring it to the doctor if you get sick). That being said, the biggest risk factor for ticks is hands down having a dog. Like I rarely got ticks before I got my dog and now it’s like non stop tick city in my house. So as long as you’re not bringing a dog or walking in the woods naked, the ticks should be manageable.
The Lincoln Woods State Park and George Washington State Park both have some pretty nice, relaxed, beginner friendly trails. I’m also a big fan of Duval in Wakefield. You can also do some more “rock climbing” oriented hiking at beaver tail and fort wetherill, though these aren’t really “trails” as much as they are playing on rocks. Hands down my absolute favorite hiking trail is Long Pond in Hopkinton but that’s definitely a little bit more advanced (though totally worth adding to a future list).

Can't stress this enough, you need to wear 200 to 500 square inches of fluorescent orange during the hunting seasons where hunting is allowed.

Just be careful as it’s very toxic to cats!
