Hey Pattey, I think I had heard several years ago that it was possible to go on the beach at Sandy Hook National Seashore. You may need a permit to do that if it is still allowed. Mikkaa over at NJAX used know about that area.

Avon -- you're be only about an hour down the parkway from me. If/when you come up to the NYC area let me know, and I'll let you know when I am heading down your way.

Hey, with the new Xterra owners on the boards (NJAX, here, etc.), maybe we can schedule a meet and greet dinner some time. We used to have them every month or so several years ago.
