The States and Capitals caches are small 1.5 X 1.5 containers – no film canisters on this trail 
Please leave the containers at each location as this is not designed to be a power trail where one can grab and replace the containers. We have included multiple pages for each log so that the log sheets will endure 100’s of signatures - feel free to add a sheet to the container if you come prepared with pre-printed logs, however, please leave the original logs in place so that we can avoid unnecessary maintenance.
The road is sandy/rocky in spots and we would recommend a high clearance vehicle.
Hope you enjoy a fun day in the desert as you find out a bit more about the 50 states/capitals – TVGA

Rhode Island was the first of the thirteen original colonies to declare independence from British rule and the last to ratify the United States Constitution.
Rhode Island's official nickname is "the Ocean State", a reference to state's geography, as nearly one tenth of Rhode Island's inland area is covered by salt water. In addition, no resident of the state is more than a thirty-minute drive from the water's edge.
The official state drink of Rhode Island is coffee milk, a beverage created by mixing milk with coffee syrup. This unique syrup was invented in the state and is bottled and sold in almost all Rhode Island supermarkets. Although coffee milk contains some caffeine, it is sold in school cafeterias throughout the state. Strawberry milk is also popular.
