I finally got out to Montauk. I have been there 3 times before, but it was at the end of a bike century (100 mile ride). My neck would cramp looking at the ocean, and I was too tired to pedal another 12 miles to go the the point and light house. The funny thing is that the ride was on Sunday, so we saw all of the tired bikers rolling in.
We camped with Tracey in Hither Hills State Park. The campsites were right on the ocean (just seperated by a bluff). For the high season, you need to reserve a year in advance! There were a lot of surfers out, but it was pretty cold. There are some dunes there called the walking dunes. The dunes are moving, and the area around them are forested. They keep finding old trees that were buried by the dunes, but now are seen again due to the shifting sand. Here is Mike and Tracey on the dunes.

Very cool!
Looks like northern Michigan. I guess you felt right at home.

Speaking of beaches, did you see that Coast Guard Beach on Cape Cod was named to the top ten list of beaches in the country?

I am not sure I believe this guy to be the "expert", but I thought it was interesting anyway. Ann and I swung through there when we were on the Cape, I think you and Mike did also.

Yeah, a lot of Montauk reminded me of the cape where there are forests and dunes. The coast guard beach was cool, but I liked the beaches in provincetown just as much.
