Pawcatuck River Overnight in RI

[eckilson]

It has become a summer tradition for my local club - our annual overnight camping trip on the Pawcatuck River. We load up big canoes with lots of wood and way too much food and gear, and head out to a riverside campsite in the Burlingame Management Area for the night. This year we had 11 campers including 3 women (we are diversifying) and a young guy interested in getting into wilderness tripping (nice to keep the tradition going). We had a little bit of rain in the afternoon, but otherwise the weather was great. I even took a turn on the rope swing.

Good time as always - few pictures here:

Thanks for sharing this annual trip. I have a friend who lives in E. Providence and we're looking for an overnight to do later this summer. He is one year out from quintuple by-pass and I know his wife is concerned; although he's been doing more and more lately. While I live in central NYS, my daughter lives in Bristol so I can crash there the night before a trip. If you could point me to any info that would help me plan this, I'd appreciate it; as well as any insights you may have.

That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.
