Comment on Camping on Fire Island, Watch Hill: Trains, Ferries, Mosquitoes, and Beach by Grump

P.S. – Leave the leftist revolutionary in Manhattan where he belongs. Maybe the people in the marina with the “expensive boats” are the same people that made your trip possible, like the Ferry Company owners, operators, the conductor on the train, the people who own the restaurant at Watch Hill, etc.

Or maybe people make boat ownership a big enough priority that they sacrifice everything else? To each his own, but without introducing yourself and asking these questions, you’re only assuming things, which is pretty small minded and unfair.

If I see you on the beach, I’ll be sure to introduce myself and explain how wrong you are on each and every level.

Nice job city-iot, way to burn what used to be a beautiful, secluded spot. The purpose of searching out 8 miles of empty, secluded wilderness is………that it’s empty, secluded and wild.

But thanks to your “delicious” write-up, I’m sure that all charm will be lost when the former desolate wild on FI becomes the same kind of wild you see in Penn Station at 5:30 on a Friday.

Next time, try letting people find these things on their own, no need to give out step-by-step directions.

After all, life isn’t a destination, it’s an adventure, so go outside and get lost.

Comment on Did Abraham Lincoln Only Emancipate Confederate Slaves and Not Union Slaves? by Mark Davis

Great observation. A couple key things to remember. Legally, Lincoln would only free the slaves in the confederate states due to property laws. By leaving the Union, the Confederate states opened themselves up to Presidential proclamations. The reason a number of areas were exempt comes from their lack of support of the Confederacy. In fact, there were a number of Union regiments from these southern counties/parishes.

I wouldn’t try it without a tent. The bugs are horrible. You can camp down on the beach around a mile down shore but I think you need a wilderness camping permit. You might be able to pull sleeping on the beach but there are rangers and the mosquitoes don’t sleep.

Thanks for the review! I am hoping to go up to Watch Hill with my sweetheart in mid-August. I am also hoping that we can just show up with hardly any supplies beyond bugspray, sunscreen, water, pb-and-j’s, and some blankets and just sleep under the stars along the beach. Is this feasible?
