Made my first trip out to LI a few weeks ago. It's about an hour closer than my "home break", and for whatever reason that day had some heavy north winds so I went for a little joy ride out to Longbeach. I went up on a weekday morning, and somehow took a wrong turn. Before I knew it I was smack in the middle of little chinatown. The trip was supposed to be an hour, ended up taking me three. I'll be back though...
ha...they pumped an s-load of sand at IRI Northside and within a week of strong NE winds the sand was gone! it's like watching hard earned tax dollars float away...they call doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...insanity!
