Hi,
I live in south east Worcester county, in Blackstone Valley. In the summer I tend to hit beaches in RI/Falmouth.
Also, I dropped a note to the RI AG's office before I sent the application and received a polite call from a woman related to his office. I hoping this may help the process along. I'll keep you all in the loop.
One interesting thing. I said how I was told that most residents have a hard time getting a permit and she jokingly said "you don't know our residents" or something like that. Wow!!
