I'm so glad I had my camera with me last June when I was there or this footage would not have been possible. I haven't been back to the park since Avalon reopened. I'm planning to go back later in the fall for a little leaf-peeping. :)

Love, love, love the ferry :) There is another ferry to CT on the east end at Orient Point. I love them both. As a Long Islander I can say it is a much easier way to get to off island (as opposed to driving through "the city.")

It's so beautiful ❤️

I'm so excited to bring this video to you! I've always loved Port Jeff and it's such a great place to visit, I hope you enjoy the video 💕💕

This is such a great place to visit and since it's a state park, it only costs about $10 to park here (or free if you have the NYS Empire Pass.) Speaking of the Empire Pass, I highly recommend it. For about $100 you get unlimited free access to all of the parks in NYS for a year. It's completely worth it.

Northport also reminds me a good deal of Marblehead, Mass., which I've been to a few times but mainly in the 1990s and early 2000s.

One suggestion I have is if you come here and don't plan on eating at the high end restos here, what I tend to do is drive down to Ft. Salonga Rd. 25A, east a bit, and you have a choice of at least three good delis, bagel shops (one of them west a bit), a taco fajita joint, which is newer, and all kinds of other food, including Stop and Shop. It's only 5 min. drive from the village here.

Skippers restaurant looks really good, also, a bit pricey. I read that the Northport Hotel and Inn is really 5 stars, just the restaurant there alone is worth going to.

I was here a good deal this past summer. I love the town, but the food here is generally quite expensive. The diner isn't too bad. Beautiful place to hang out and walk around, though. The park and marina are fantastic. Free parking if you get here before around 10 am. or so.

It was just destroyed in a storm last week. 11 inches of rain caused the dam and bridge to collapse, taking out a house, an adjacent road, and burying the newly restored water wheel under tons of sand and mud.

This place is so close to my heart. When my grandmother would ask me if I wanted to go feed the ducks, I knew we were headed to Mill Pond (even though when I was five, I didn't know the name of the pond or even that it was a "pond.' As far as I knew this was "Stony Brook" and I loved it. I am so grateful that I had a chance to get here at the start of the summer.

I’ve lived on Long Island for 22 years (born and raised but I just moved to North Carolina last year) and I’ve never been to Northport. The only towns that I’ve been to on the North Shore are Riverhead for the aquarium back in late 2016 for a school field trip, and Huntington for this now closed down clothing boutique’s pop-up shop that I went to in 2021. I do plan on moving back in like 2-3 years, and possibly moving to one of these towns because when I lived on Long Island…..I lived in Baldwin, and spent most of my life on the south shore never really exploring much of the island. So when I do go back, I’m definitely gonna make it my business to explore as much of Long Island as possible.

This remains one of my favorite places on Long Island.

You went to the Hercules statue but didn't show it?

The first time I took this walk I couldn't stop smiling. You can hear the ocean so clearly and see the lighthouse for almost the entire walk. It's also an easy walk to take thanks to the boardwalk. :)

It still blows my mind that John Lennon had a house in this town. I type that as I sit here listening to Abbey Road.

This part of Stony Brook is about a mile from the train station. As a point of reference, the train station is adjacent to Stony Brook University. Stony Brook itself is a rather sprawling suburban place but when I think of Stony Brook I always think of the section of it featured in this video.

This is the first non-short video I uploaded to RUclips. It was originally shot in 4K but I was using an editing program that limited file size. Sadly I had to compress it multiple times just to edit it. I have better editing equipment now and I am thinking about re-uploading this video in 4K. I'm torn though because it was my first upload and while I'd love to see it 4K I'm sort of nostalgic about leaving it as is. Does anyone know if you can have 2 versions of the same video on a channel???

Living in suburbia and trapped in an office most of the week, I was shocked, when I actually started measuring it, by how few steps I was taking each day. It's why I started walking on purpose on a daily basis -and now I'm obsessed with it. There is literally no down-side!

I loooove Huntington!

Beautiful , Genny. Thanks for sharing .

Good morning
