Possible South County Meet (in the Spring or Summer)

[Roadgeek Adam]

I have brought forth the idea for the next road meet I would host. My belief is to have a meet in South County, Rhode Island. Although its not a big of thing as the big capital city to the north, I feel I have found enough interesting stuff to justify the South County meet. I have been looking at the possibility of doing it during the Spring or Summer, as its a beautiful place. I have come up with some ideas for an itenary, feel free to add suggestions:

- Hannah Robinson Tower
- The former Jamestown (RI 138) Bridge
- Route 403's new freeway and old alignment
- Route 4's new Exit 7
- The Ocean Drive of Narragansett (and the towers)

Those are my ideas so far. I have a restaurant idea as well, Pancho O' Malleys in Narragansett (on RI 108).

Give me ideas if you can.

Not directly road related, but perhaps might be worth a look at some of the Newport Houses if we need more things to do

Route 4 is boring, I'd suggest instead looking at the new I-195 in Providence (you can use Gano St. exit for a perspective from below or a place to park and walk).  There's also the Henderson Bridge, would-be US 44.  Then head south from there, see the other stuff, and come back.

Well Route 4 - I should specify the new Exit 7

I'm going to suggest June for the month for the meet.  The weather should probably be fine, plus it's not as busy of a vacation month like July and August are.

Yes I figured that. However, I'd like to see what the interest is in terms of people before making the go-ahead

[yanksfan6129]

I like June. Especially late June. Like after school lets out... (for me, Wednesday the 23rd I think)

Yeah, it seems kinda wrong to completely ignore 195 with this.

As for when... any weekend that isn't a holiday weekend ought to work. Although I can see where waiting for June so people are out of school would help.

I'm another person interested, for those taking census. No preferences as to timing.

Pardon my ignorance, but on the map I see five counties in Rhode Island, none of which are named South County.

South County is a commonly used nickname for Washington County, Rhode Island.

I never noticed that, I thought South County was its actual name...Pardon my ignorance then. Besides South County sounds better.

I will not, however, pardon your ignorance of proper quoting.  /your friendly mod
