Sharie's Birthday Choice

Sharie is "Our kind of woman" - her idea of a great birthday celebration was a hike along the south end of the island. We parked at the knocked down Gordon's stop sign, hiked along a stone wall for about one mile and popped out on the southern most point of Long Island. This would be good enough for most people, but not us. We trekked back north along the coast through bush, razor rocks, boulders, crumbling cliff faces, sand and outraged land crabs ready to pinch us. Chris calculates the trail with google earth at 3.38 miles, one way. Considering that would be a straight line, assume we hiked a lot farther with our zigzagging route to avoid certain obstacles. We started from Gordon's Settlement at 10:30 AM, were back to the car at 6:15 PM.
For lunch We dined on luscious canned sardines at a fabulous beachside rock. The dining area was furnished with lovely recycled chairs of 5 gallon plastic jugs. You need a five gallon jug size to accommodate a moderate sized derrière.
For dinner we went conventional at the Outer Edge Grill, Flying Fish Marina.
