2017 Rhode Island Squid Report

[alaskanaturally]

It's low Alaska... I want to say 6'2"...I have a crossover; Buick Enclave and was a little nervous. If you have a pickup or SUV, I would recommend parking where Janz said. I'll have to drive around to see exactly where he is speaking of. I believe the lot by the hotel you need to pay before 6 PM and then it's free after 6. It's about 2 blocks away though so Janz and I could very well be speaking of the same parking area... It is on the mainland side of Goat Island Bridge. Due to construction, here is what I would do, head over to the bridge and see if there is parking just before it, on the right hand side. If there is, park there, if not, continue on over the bridge. I'm sorry, I can't remember your names, but if you want to drop one of you off with your gear, do it while on the bridge. Continue on and turn around on Goat Island and head back to the mainland. Stop in check with your spouse on the way back and see if they got a squid in the 3 mins since you dropped them off and then contue over the bridge. A few hundred feet after you go through the intersection, you will see the parking lot on your right side, and the entrance that is currently closed. Proceed past it, and take a right at the big intersection with traffic lights. The entrance will be a few hundred feet down on the right, at the hotel entrance. Drive all the way down to the corner by the closed entance / exit to eliminate as much walking as possible. Hope this lengthy info helps!

Thanks again Dave. We won't fit. Our pickup camper sits 10.5 ft off the ground. Looks like we'll have to stick with Galilee or find other areas. Last year we did drive through Jamestown and saw a pier. Didn't have the time to try it. Perhaps that's a possibility.
