Ditching the City for Ditch Plains


During a stunning day of Labor Day weekend - the weekend to squeeze out all thats left of summer - I journeyed to the end of the Long Island Railroad to Montauk. Ditch Plains to be specific - a beach with cliff-like, craggy dunes and surfers. Summer days make people happy and so there were happy people everywhere in Ditch Plains. Kind of like Dr. Seuss' Whoville with frisbees and surfboards. After a long day at the beach and some seafood for dinner, the local band "Surf Dogs" played in the gazebo in the center of town, giving a summer soundtrack to a glorious day in the sun.
