Summer Get-A-Way Day
CASIMIR PULASKI MEMORIAl STATE PARK
One day last week, one of those perfect summer days, Irene and I knocked off around 4:00pm, loaded Molly and Sterling into the old FourRunner and headed out for the “territories” i.e. anyplace west of Providence. We headed north on 146 then south on 102, stopping several times along the way, then hit Route 44, the Putnam Pike and drove almost to the Connecticut border, before we pulled into the Pulaski State Park Beach. There we took a walk around a beautiful pond and did some bird watching.
Storking the Bridge
I was lucky enough to capture a Stork (or is it an Egret?) with my digital camera; once on a rock, then Molly scared him away, but we saw him again on the bridge.
Fishin'Blues
You can walk from Rhode Island to Connecticut over this wooden bridge.
From One State to Another
This Park is quite large and worth exploring at length. The fastest route from Providence would be Rt. 6 West to 295, North to Rt. 44 West. The park is about 15 miles from Rt. 295, so give yourself 30 to 45 minutes to get there from Providence.
