Where in the World is Mr. Larkin?

I'm on a voyage of discovery. Your task is to find my location based on the clues given. I could be anywhere in the world. On land or on the sea. Close to home, or far away! You'll need to read the clues carefully and use your knowledge of geography, latitude and longitude, maps, and history to locate me! Good luck. Each "adventure" is time limited. That means you'll have a limited number of days to find my location. When you've come up with your "best guess" as to my location, write your answer on a slip of paper and put it in the "Where in the World is Mr. Larkin" box in the classroom. Don't forget to include your name (first and last please) on the slip of paper with your answer.

My location is the highest natural point in the state of Rhode Island, at 812 feet (247 m) above sea level. This location, a small rock outcropping, is owned by Brown University. Brown has used this spot as an astronomy observatory location for decades and is located in Providence County near the Connecticut border at 41°50′58″N 71°46′43″W.
