Dear Jeff:

From what I see & hear through television, radio, & other social media, the State of Rhode Island is an absolute interesting place. I've never been there but I would like II go.

Z0. Its highest point is Jerimoth Hill, which if you call 812 feet high puts it at XLVI (46th) in the nation.

A1. Its total area is only 1,545 square miles, this just showcases how small Rhode Island is. In fact, its the smallest State in the United States, but its the second most densely populated next to a previous blog entry, the State of New Jersey.

B1. Was the first of the original XIII (13) Colonies to declare independence from official British rule. This was done on May IVth, MDCCLXXVI (4th, 1776.) 

The Ocean State,

Rory
