RG: I wasn't singling you out. The comment wasn't intended to offend you and I apologize if you took it that way. It just makes my blood boil when I see these trusts acquire land and then greatly reduce or, as in this case, eliminate access to the public. I realize that vandalisim is an issue and that certainly is a problem that is difficult to deal with. It would be nice to have a small docking station where folks could tie up their boats and hike to the top of the island for what must be a spectacuar view.

Sal is requesting entertainment suggestions; not a rant about a conservation organization or members (owners) of RIA.

If a nerve were touched, just start a new thread, or post to a previous thread, to vent the pain.
I would caution you that if you were upset by the little that were mentioned, you would be livid if you had a greater depth of knowledge regarding RI and the LRCT. The thread would take a path similar to the speed limit thread; not answer the real question of this thread, "
what do YOU do and where do you go..."
