I LOVE the Orange!!! Especially clean and in the sun. It's great! Perfect! A Jeep needs to be in a bright, eye popping color, IMO. And a limited production, 2009 only color is cool.

ORANGE... BAM!!!

(I think I can post this direct link since it's not Jeep or vendor related. I hope.)

You should be able to find the info there on what you need to carry. But at a minimum, grab yourself a small shovel from a hardware store and keep that with you. I have an old military shovel that folds. It's great AND SMALL! I believe you are supposed to also carry an air pump (but air is available there) and a board to put your jack on should you need it.

For Robert Moses area, you need your own air hose to plug in to their air lines at the trail head of Democratic Point.

Also, at the Robert Moses beaches, has anyone ever even been asked to show their passes? I never have. And I carry my fishing pole, small tackle box with fake bait, and a 5 gal bucket. so I'm always prepared for there too.

I was asked at gilgo to show my permit and equipment and stuff and I only had 1 pole and they said i needed one for everyone over 12 even if they are not fishing i got a warning written on my permit for not having equipment for my friend too

Robert Moses beaches just closed WATER access due to rough surf.

But we should still be able to cruise around and play, fish, fly kites, etc.

NOTE THE NO ALCOHOL POLICIES EVERYWHERE.

The News 12 Blast email I got today said:

Swimming has been temporarily banned at Robert Moses State Park due to rough surf conditions.
Read more at News12.com
So that would lead me to believe beaches are open, but the ocean is closed
