726. Veterans Day Travelin’ Light
A quick stop while passing through Ninigret Park in Charlestown, RI

N.B. As many letterboxers probably know by now, after planting well over 500 regular boxes, we have mostly gotten tired of leaving plastic containers out in the natural environment, so for the past few years, instead of actual boxes, we sometimes just leave in our wake small stones with stamps glued onto their bottom side that we call "travelin' lights". (So, don't expect this to be a box!)

For this “travelin’ light”, just go to Ninigret Park east off Route 1 on Old Post Road 1A , and turn south into the park. Across from the tennis courts on the west side of the road soon after you enter the park there is a granite monument on the east side of the road with a flagpole for the Charlestown Naval Auxiliary Landing Field. On the gravel in front of the monument is a small flat stone with the following engraved on it: “ 1943 to 1973 / Charlietown “. Under this stone and some duff is a much smaller trapezoidal stone with a rubber stamp “Honoring Our Veterans” glued onto it.
