We’ve taken staycations before, but this urban camper is taking staycationing and camping to the limit.
The dude is camping on the side of the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, N.Y. but at least he wakes up to a waterfront view!
Best And Worst Verrazano Bridge Signage
There are only a couple of ways to gain entrance onto the Verrazano Bridge and only one of them is a pleasant one.
When going onto the Verrazano Bridge from the Belt Parkway it seems so nice, pleasant and picturesque.
However, when going onto the Verrazano Bridge from 92nd Street in Bay Ridge you get a double smack.
Largely printed letters that spell out Staten Island ( shudder ) and the eye popping car toll of $11.00!!!
Brooklyn’s Best Seashell Collector
At low tide we spotted a rather larger looking man over the seawall, past the protective boulders and down in the sand of Bath Beach right about where the British forces and Hessian troops walked onto Long Island for the Battle of Long Island in 1776 during the Revolutionary War.
Our first thought, metal detector looking for a find; but without a metal detector in sight we cannot help but think, seashell collector?
We then spotted another large man nearby who was digging around in the boulders looking for something.
Ummm, yeah. Dead bodies, drugs, bars of gold, sand, seashells, workout equipment, tanning salon, whatever it was that they were up to just didn’t look right.
They were just a couple of nice professional seashell collectors. Nothing more than kind hearted business men, family men, right?
