George's Rhode Island River Badge Drop
Smallest state, stubbornest paddlers. The Wood River and Alton Pond, the Pawcatuck running to the sound, three-hundred-forty-acre Beach Pond, and the Blackstone with eighteen dams still standing and portages to prove it. RI DEM wants you to inspect and clean: pull mud, plant and animal material off boat and trailer before hauling, dry everything that touched water, drain wells far from the pond. Eight pieces in the Rhode Island drop: unisex tee, women's relaxed tee, youth tee, muscle tank, garment-dye crop tee, full-color two-tone cap, golf rope cap, and five-panel rope cap. Paddle On. Only You Can Keep The Rivers Clean. — George
