I live 25 minutes from RST and I cannot, for the life of me, get them to let me pick up shells from them and have to pay a $50 to $75 shipping fee each time I get 3-5 flats. They simply will not allow any pick up at the facility. In any event, I ordered what they had in stock on their website and got them within 2 weeks but they run out quick so you need to check their website DAILY, it changes quickly. The reason I even brought this up is because I would have offered to pick up a bulk order for guys at the RI shoot and bring them up (if I'm coming up, still trying to firm up that small detail...). Anyways, how many shells should one bring? That will dictate what guns I bring as I have more of some shells than others.

One of the LI boys wil try to make it, but the Port Jeff ferry is on a winter schedule and the first is 7a, so I doubt we could make a 9a lift off at Peace Dale. We would take the New London-Orient PT on return.

Jay:

Count me in.

Kathy G. and I are going to make this a micro-mini vacation.
We have a room booked at Sugar Loaf Hill Bed and Breakfast in Wakefield (Peace Dale), which is supposed to be five minutes from the shooting preserve.

sugarloafhill@verizon.net

Stephanie at the front desk (an owner) says, if bad weather washes us out, we can cancel at no charge.

Kathy will not be shooting (unless she wants to take some shots on my card).

That region of Rhode Island I have spent very little time in, but looks to be well-worth exploring.

Thanks for taking this on.

Russell, Just leave her a half tank of gas. That's all she'll need to do Rhode Island.
I have lots of RI friends. Surprising, they all know each other. Everything is just 'down the road'.

What Fool wouldn't? Quahogs make the best chowder too.

Remind me sometime to tell you about the 15-20 'almost full' bushels we took to Nantucket every friday night.

I was attempting to perpetuate the cartoons I would often see in Yankee Magazine in the 70’s and 80’s where they poked fun at Rhode Islanders and their affinity for quahogs.

I agree - they’re delicious! And arent “cherrystones” just small quahogs?

Made my reservations. Weather permitting, I'm bringing a friend along. The site says $30 for a 4 man cart. Hopefully that is not per person. Can a cart be reserved in advance?

Dean:

Yes. My understanding: all the same species, different stage in growth:

Quahogs: full grown
Cherrystones: Junior League
Little Necks: small fry
