ok.. how's that for a thread title????
it means... 1st Nonstop Flight across the Atlantic (Roosevelt Field) following the 1st Highway in the US (Long Island Motor Parkway (aka Vanderbilt Motor Parkway))
to The End (Montauk Point) a light 1st authorized by G. Washington (drum roll) (ps.. it might have been the 1st light authorized here in the US)
Sunday after Thanksgiving.. we will try again and take a drive out to the Point. Starting place will again be top level of Roosevelt Field's South Parking garage (that way anyone who wants to can hit the john.. no more behind the school like we did in litchfield) along with coffee and such. not yet sure of time..probably meeting around 8:30-9:00 with departure at 9:30-10:00 be aware that while it's not the most winding of roads.. though we did find a nice route last time.. it is definatly a good long haul out.. approx 2-3 hours out to the point. not sure how long it took last time.. plus Sue and I stopped for some drinks. There are places along the way to stop and pick up drinks.
Also.. there is a fee at Montauk Point State Park.. but to those who have never been out there... it IS worth the view and ride.
anyway let me know if this will be ok....

oh small side note: according to Street Atlas 2003 the route is est to take <drum roll> 4 hours. (to be honest.. i know I've done it in less) with a total distance of 110 miles..
and remember.. at the end.. you are literally at The End (a nickname for Montauk Point)
before all get upset.. the return is a straight drive back.. either down rt 27/sunrise or up rt 27 to 24 to the LIE (495).. not sure how we will caravan out.. I know sue and myself.. we might end up either in Baiting Hollow for dinner or maybe Port Jefferson. .. just let me know...
oh.. no matter what.. I'll only go back as far as Freeport...right past Hassel Motors.. since I live there.

just tested a slight change in route from what I did in Sept. the map program said it should take 2:38 to get to the LI exit for rt 24 (edwards rd).. but it took us about 1:15.. not bad eh??? just trying to figure out a possible stop or just go straight there...
i now have walkabouts so we can use Channel 7 along the way..
slight route changes from Sept...
going thru a little of the West Hills in Huntington instead of passing Sweet Hollow church.. and taking old Montauk Hwy (down by gurney's ) vs the Montauk State Parkway (bypass) though the bypass would be a little faster.. and it goes up over the hill.. the old route.. well undulates.
oh also on someones idea here.. (ferget who) coming down rt 24.. all the way to 27a vs 27.. meaning we pass thru Southhampton and pass the Shinnecock reservation vs the hwy to where the diner is..(past southhampton) so while it will be a little slower... (and yes there are lights and such) we will pass thru all the hamptons on the south fork.. so a caravan thru there should turn some heads.. (i hope)
I've called Hassel to let them know of this.. anyone want to call Habberstad and Southhampton??

antony..
good to hear...
hey.. while it might be a bit chilly out there... we can certainly commandere the gift shop/snack bar for coffeee and hot chocolate and whatever else...
you know it wont be a "racing run" though there will be stretches on the LIE
gonna have to do a headcount here and in MINI2 to see where we are... oh there ARE facilities at the gift shop
(and as i said before.. there IS a parking fee at Montauk Point State Park)
PS we will be passing the semi famous BIG DUCK in Flanders.. for those who are wondering.. this was originally a poultry shop that was in the shape of a very large duck! about 2 stories... the red eyes are actually taillights from a ford Model T !!
dont know if we will pass the sphinx...(yes there is one on long island.. originally in Patchogue but now in neighboring Bellport on Montauk Hwy

I need more motoring in my life, and less life in my life... I'll be there as well. I'm going to check on doing the Ferry back from Port Jeff to Bridgeport. How much does that cost for a MINI and it's pilot? Do they do evening cruises, or just daylight? If I don't get lost going to the start, I'm in.
