Im sure as time goes on the 2012 owners will start putting the 4:56's on and post a write up. At this points its not not easy even finding soneone who has an inventory of 4:56's on hand.

I start before the sun is up and don't return until close to mid-night.

My normal stops are east of the Hampton Bays..

These were the spots on last years itinerary and I hit almost all of them if only in passing through.

Mostly around Napeague, East Hampton and Montauk. I hit as many beaches as I can with no real agenda other than to grab some cool pics on some of the best beaches around. This year I am considering going out on the south fork as I always do, crossing over to Shelter Island and chill there late in the day, then take the North Fork home. This depends on what attractions and beaches I can find that catch my interest. No 4x4 locations to hit on the North Fork unfortunately.

The beaches I hit require either the State or Suffolk permits. Mostly the State Fishing permit since the best spots are Montauk, Hither Hills and Napeague Beach.

While I love doing this trip alone, it would be really cool to roll into a bunch of locations with a caravan of rigs.

I know it's a long way off, but I've already started planning my route and stops. I take tide, sun and my stomach into consideration.

I would like to know if anyone is interested in making this one-day trip.. Not passing interest, but interested to the point that we can lock up a date within the next few weeks. Coordinating this for more than just myself is many times more difficult so I don't want to it and have people bail out. I'd just as soon do it alone as I always have.

Napeague Beach, Montauk, Hither Hills...

For those interested, the police were out at Sore Thumb.. When I arrived, they were 'assisting' a Ford F150 that dug in up to its axles and was going no where.. I spoke to the officer for a few minutes but he never asked for my permit. He passed me again later in the evening and again, didn't request a permit to check my gear. Maybe I looked like I had it all together..

I saw him again when I left Sore Thumb, and an hour or so later when I was leaving D-Pt.
