How'd you miss RI?

Worked all around it, but never went or worked there. We're threatening to load up the camper and head to Maine this summer for the lobster festivals. I might just have to swing through RI somewhere going or coming to complete the list.....

I don't have one of those maps but I think yours might be the only one I've seen that is more complete than mine would be. When my family was doing a USA tour back in '91, my wife and kids had never been to Ohio. We were heading back to NJ through WVa. At some point (Huntington, I think) I drove everyone across the Ohio River for some ice cream so they could add another state to their lists. I've been to RI countless times, but only landed there once. It wasn't something I'll easily forget. It was my first real instrument approach. I can still see the rabbit breaking through about 300' AGL at PVD. (Weather caused me to abandon a flight from ACK to CDW. I'm no longer sure why I thought I should leave ACK, but I quickly had another real approach going back there.)
