New England Trekkers cross into Rhode Island

Our trek today brought us from Mystic, Connecticut across state lines to Charlestown, Rhode Island.  After crossing the bridge into RI, the group followed the Pawcatuck River all the way to Watch Hill, a quaint oceanside town with some beautiful views. As our journey brought us along the coast, our desire to swim grew. We stopped for a beach lunch and cooled off with some games in the water. After lunch, we continued on our way to the campsite. Once we arrived, the group set up camp and the food committee set out for dinner. The meal was prepared over the campfire that the group of trekkers built themselves! After dinner, the group went for a sunset swim in the nearby lake before drying off by the fire with s'mores.  Tomorrow the group will be heading to Block Island for two days of exploring.
