Taking a road trip from the cottages I explored Jamestown and Point Judith. Finding their lighthouses and exploring the area around them. I loved all the sea cliff walls and trails available at both. The park at Beavertail is not to be missed nor is the Fisherman Memorial next to Point Judith Lighthouse.

The geology of Rhode Island is based on nearly one billion year old igneous crystalline basement rocks formed as part of the microcontinent Avalonia that collided with the supercontinent Gondwana. The region experienced substantial folding associated with its landlocked position during the Alleghanian orogeny mountain building event and accumulated sedimentary rocks, including small deposits of coal. The region was covered with thick Atlantic Coastal Plain sediments, with the erosion of the Appalachians and the creation of the Atlantic Ocean throughout the past 200 million years. These surficial sediments and soils were substantially reworked by the Pleistocene glaciations. The state's geology is part of the broader geology of New England.

The Rhode Island Red is one of the oldest breeds of chicken developed in America, with a history going back to the mid 1840s. The people of Rhode Island raised these chickens in their villages for the purpose of eggs and meat. Regions surrounding Little Compton, Rhode Island, and Newport County, Massachusetts (which are adjoining territories), should receive most of the credit for the early development of the Rhode Island Red. Poultry farmers of these regions wanted to have a hen that could lay a good number of eggs per year, and one that would dress out nicely as a meat bird for the table or when sent to market for a profit. Shape and color had little if any consideration, except with the males - the local farmers preferred red males as they believed these introduced intense vigor to the flock.
