We're in Rhode Island for the week, visiting my parents. We headed out to find a mystery box today that I occasionally work on (when I'm up in this neck of the woods).

Found most of the clue points, but didn't actually find the box. The skeeters were in full force and the thunder was rumbling overhead. I was convinced that we'd get stuck in a bad situation (especially since the weather forecast called for 60 mph winds and hail during this storm) so we left. Perhaps another day.
