When my friend Curtis suggested that we drive to the fartherestestest point of Long Island, I really pictured over 100 miles of suburbia. I'd gone once to the Ikea there, and I could have sworn that the LIE was one of the levels of hell.
I expected this:
He proposed this as a fun thing. So I went.
I was totally wrong! We left the main highway and traced the northern coast. Yes, there were hideous stretches of strip malls, but then we would come across one of the rocky beaches or cross over an inlet. We had views like this:
The north fork was interesting, as it has lots of wineries and scenic bits. We didn't stop at any of them (I hate wineries with bus parking), but we did stop at a place in Orient where I had my first lobster sandwich. Curtis also ate one, and he said he knew of a place in the city that had better. Of course they have better in the city!
I wouldn't want to live there, especially with global warming. Okay, side thing- I just typed 'global worming' which sounds really painful for all dogs.
Good company, good trip out of the city, good times.

Wow, I forgot about Baitacular. If we just panned the camera a little to the right, we'd see that right behind Baitacular is a HUGE power factory with smokestacks dumping water into the bay. Mmmm, I want to go fishing THERE!!! Mercury be damned.

There are lots of great things to see and do on Long Island. As for the lobster sandwich, those things aren't usually the finest of food, and there are excellent places to eat that can do better than a lobster sandwich. You should let us show you around sometime!
