How to find us: The easiest way is to meet us outside of the McDonald's from 11:30 AM to 11:45 AM and then walk over with us to Penn Station and take the LIRR with us at 12:21 PM. However, if you're driving or taking the train from another stop, please meet us at the Robert Moses Beach at approx 2:30 PM. Other than that, I will post my GPS Coordinates as well as photos to try to assist latecomers as best I can. If you really are lost, calling me is probably better than texting. My number is 646-238-9910.
