Now that we've established that October really is WTF month, here are some safety tips from Bob Yarnall....
Lest we
forget whilst we tread lightly through the seasonal political jungle, this
Saturday, October 20, marks the beginning of the real hunting season, a stark
reality that is best dealt with by observing this official State of Rhode
Island DEM advisory:
Rhode
Island State Management Areas
Daylight
Fluorescent Orange Requirement
riders,
et al) are required to wear 200 square inches
of
solid daylight fluorescent orange from the third Saturday
in
October to the last day of February and the last Thursday
in
April to the last day in May”
While
the editors of Progressive Charlestown have been wearing flak jackets since
Labor Day to protect themselves from the self-detonating political campaigns of
CCA candidates, the rest of the population seeking refuge from the seasonal tsunami
of political advertising by trekking through Burlingame, Arcadia, et al, is hereby
reminded to don fluorescent orange vests and caps when enjoying the park,
especially when circumventing Watchaug Pond via the Vin Gormley Trail.
Rumor
has it that the secret CCA Clubhouse is located somewhere along this 9 mile
hiking loop.
Keep
those cell phone cameras at the ready. You never know!
