Shortly after visiting the New Hampshire High point I went down to Rhode Island to visit my so far lowest high point - Jerimoth Hill.
The high point itself is quite unremarkable in a faily flat region which is also indicated by different locations for the USGS benchmarks. The highpoint itself is marked by a small stone cairn and a sign along the short walking trail.

Along the way in New England the roads were quite varied with both ups and downs as well as twisting and turning and varied fuel economy depending on the flavor of the moment, the listed average was over several tanks, and the average for the shown half hour was rather on the order of 70+ mpg (under 3.4L/100km). the freezing temperatures didn't help either...
