Montauk: The End

Ok, this is a retro-active post.  This post documents events that occurred around the start of the new year, 2010.  For those of you reading this through Facebook, the original post can be found on my blog http://henrickatlarge.blogspot.com. This allows you access to picture galleries and other multi-media, which does not transfer into notes.

One of the things on my 'to-do' list when I was home was a trip to Montauk point.  Montauk is the most-Eastern part of Long Island, and the location of many books and movies.

I haven't been there for God-knows-how-long.  I have some very good memories of Montauk. Most of these are from when I was just a wee-little-beastie.  There were also the adolescent 'all-night' trips to the beach during high school.  Though, as I said, I have not been there for quite some time.  My recollection of the place itself, is dust covered and yellowed by time.  So, I decided to take this time to go out and revisit Montauk point.

So, I packed up the dog, jumped in the car, and dutifully drove East.  On the way, I passed some of the older, more quaint East-end communities.  As I drove out, I got an opportunity to check out some old graveyards, vineyards, and windmills.  The traffic was such, that I couldn't really pull off the road and check it out more closely.  As a result, I had to take whatever pictures  I could from my car, snapping pictures between volleys of cars.  Attempting to get a clear shot without many cars in the way was not as easy as it seems.  Sometimes I had to wait on the side of the road for about 10 minutes before there was a clear shot.

Till next time
