Location
In the middle of a 4-leaf clover [well, cloverleaf traffic interchange] at the intersection of RI Route 7 and Route 295; two alternate routes from home in Providence to visit Mom in Pascoag.
Participants
Plans
Seemed like a lucky chance to visit a 4-leaf clover returning from a bittersweet visit to my Mom in her nursing home.
Expedition
But as it happens, the aerial view from Google did not reveal the sheer 70' cliffs that formed all sides of the clover's leaf..... I did motor through all 4 leaves of the cloverleaf - twice! - trying to see if there was any place to pull over, never mind clamber up. Decided not to alarm the locals, and quietly wandered home. But I had managed to smuggle Maggie the cat in to visit my Mom, which made her day.

This is not looking good....
Beautiful, but inaccessible.
Everywhere you look.
but this was the meetup that counted.
