New England Shore Trekkers View the Newport Mansions


Today we woke up at a reasonable time, 7ish I believe. We packed up our camp (still wet from the night before) and headed off to a bagel store on the island. After a nice breakfast we went on the Hi-Speed ferry to Newport, RI. Once there we locked up our bikes and did the famous Cliff Walk, viewing 10+ majestic Newport mansions overlooking the Atlantic.   For lunch we stopped at a beautiful beach and ate PB&J. Then we headed towards our new camp site. After stopping at the supermarket for dinner, we kept a consistent pace until we finally reached our camp. After grilling burgers, we took our first shower in around 3 days (which was the highlight of the day). Then we all talked around our campfire for a couple hours and had a blast.  - Trekker Zach
