(RI) New Mystery

Long story short, Dan and I placed a box a week or so ago, but haven't had invitees bite on a beta-test. Of course, why bother testing a Mystery box? They are supposed to make you wrack your brains, right? ;-) So I'm posting our clues here, and they will eventually make it to the site, I'm sure.

Name: Demented Directions Mystery Box

State: Rhode Island

County: ???

Nearest city or town: ???

Difficulty of clues: Easy to moderate

Difficulty of hike: Easy, practically a drive-by

Note: traditional paces used (double step)

Somewhere in Rhode Island an obviously unbalanced person is on the run. rambling, sometimes singing,

"Five score and that 'terrible' age,

Take me home, county road,

To the land of rock,

Where the ordinary pasture fish terminates.

Water, water, everywhere,

But it can't be seen from here.

Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

We can rest here.

Now start again.

Ring around the campfire.

No, not the Campfire Girls; the Boy Scouts of 1999: Eagles doing good deeds.

Rocks everywhere!

I'll bite and get back to you after the weekend.
