AZ Needs more hikers.

Some of us hikers post our trip reports and discussions on other boards. I'll answer questions here, but I rarely start any threads.

No kidding ? I've been living in East Moriches for almost three years now. Where did you live? Cupsogue is kind of short but sweet(IMHO) I pretty much grew up on Smith Point, 6 miles of outer beach and zero hamptons vibe. Hey with all these "surfers" here on AZ why don't we start a new "beach/boating" forum? Sorry hikers

I certainly take you up the offer if I'm ever down that way. Mind you, I'm a 'gaper' surfer, only have used a body board so far. Perhaps this summer I'll give a real surf board a try. One thing I do know is that outside of skiing, I've never experienced something in a sport so great as when you catch a good wave....how it draws you back then lifts you up to its top and just cruise on in to shore. LOVE IT

I must get out and hike more than in previous years.

Getting back into fishing and specifically dabbling in flyfishing may get me more in the woods this Summer to hunt out some decent trout streams...

I live close to Newport beach. I actually live in NH now but for 25 years I lived in EMO. My folks still live there so its nice to head there in the summer and enjoy the warm weather and great ocean temps. Yea and the Hamptons vibe is a bummer but we used to shoot down the beach at Cupsogue and head towards the inlet. Nobody really went there and it was like having the place to yourself.

My sister and family have lived in East Moriches for the past 15 years or so. Nice town, I get down there a few times a year but this year they bought a place at Gore and go up most winter weekends. I plan on hitting the place in Gore this summer for some Daks hiking.

I went to school in Central Islp and used to go out to Montague all the time. There is a place called Fire Island that you can only access by boat somewhere right there as well, correct?

I think your referring to Montauk which is on the east end of Long Island. Fire island is the barrier beach that runs east to west along the island. You can cross numerous bridges to get to the beach in the middle of the island. Some parts are only accessible via boat. Long Island has some of the nicer beaches out on the east end. I would recommend anyone to go for the day and enjoy the water.
