Jerimoth Hill
Dec. 2nd, 2023 06:05 pmIt's an approximately four-minute walk in the woods both ways from the highway. I imagine it being quite pleasant at certain times of year, but unfortunately today was chilly and gray and the woods were a bit damp. Hey, they can't all be exciting.
I did get super lucky and run into a couple who were also chasing state high points so I got a proper "summit" picture instead of an awkward leaning-the-backpack-against-a-tree one.
State high points: 2/50. I've now done possibly the easiest one and one that's probably about on the edge of the upper quintile.
County high points: 70/3143. Well, Rhode Island abolished county governments in 1842 but I can still color Providence County in on a map.
I probably should have kept driving west a bit after tagging Jerimoth to touch the ground in Connecticut, another state that I have never visited. (Just like I had never visited Rhode Island until yesterday.) But hey, I still need to visit the state to tag its high point.
