Lots of people out and about. Wanted to get a picture without anyone in the background but this is the best I could do

North Dumpling Light. During prohibition, the isolated beaches and islands near North Dumpling were found to be ideal for transferring illegal booze. In 1986, the island was sold to the Segway Human Transporter inventor and he battled with Suffolk County authorities for permission to build a windmill to power an electric generator. He then began an extensive campaign and declared that his island was now the sovereign “North Dumpling Republic” and that he was Lord Dumpling II. The new nation was to have its own currency, the Dumpling, a national anthem and a one boat navy.
We are headed down the trail and Michael turns and says shhh and let me have your camera. (my camera had a bigger zoom lens on it) We switch cameras and walk very quietly and slowly so we don’t scare the bird and then we realize it’s fake. Too funny – so we had to take a picture
