It was the 5th May 2007 and we were at it again, this time on a mini road trip to hit the high points of Rhode Island and Connecticut. Rhode Island's high point is Jerimonth Hill at 812 feet. Until recently, the high point which is located on private land was only accessible to visitors 5 times a year on special "access days", but new owners now let people visit every day between 8am-4pm. We drove up from New Jersey straight to the highpoint which is next to a home by the side of the road. We parked by the roadside and followed a path through the wooded area next to the house where we saw a sign for Jerimonth Hill. Assuming this was the high point we took some happy snaps and found the USGS marker. We noticed the trail went on further, and after following it we found yet another USGS marker and then another! As the land was so flat, it was not evidently clear which was the official highpoint, but with pictures of all of them we were happy and on our way.
