    I never thought I'd find 45 minute POV videos of somebody walking around to be so addictive. Watching these has got me wanting to bust out the wallet and buy an Osmo and go somewhere, and I don't even have the time right now to travel. That's how much I'm enjoying these videos.

      @Runner Girl Agree with you again Runner. Most people I know love to walk. My doc suggested walking when I kept breaking and twisting things after running. If you can walk four miles an hour and go twice as far I understand one gleans the same benefit as running for that distance. Whatever the pace, the body needs to stay in motion to remain sound. Richard, pls walk as much as you can, you will never be sorry. Its good for you.

I so admire that you can still run - wish it was me but we all play the hand we're dealt, yes? There are so many who are so much worse off that I am embarrassed to appear to complain. Thank you for your comment. Peace.

    It seems like more is going on in Cherry Grove than the Pines. Love how the boardwalks weave their way through natural ecosystems. I think I would need a trusty flash light if doing evening walks, for it doesn't seem like the boardwalk is lit at night. And wow, that was one expensive breakfast! Very enjoyable walk.

      How are you lost Robin? What would make you say I wanna go home? Its a summer resort. Nobody expects to live there full-time anymore than you would choose to live in East Hampton through the winter. Most don't, a few do. If you are uncomfortable around same-sex couples then that would not be your choice. That is, of course, up to you but can you allow that some find Fire Island to be just a little bit, for a little while, paradise.

  • @PinePowerLI
    @PinePowerLI Před 3 lety +1

    Cherry Grove is more friendly & down to earth compared to the Pines. But my favorite area of Fire Island is the Natural area of Sailors Haven & Sunken Forest. This area has the most native vegetation, namely the Pitch Pine trees, and yes they have a lot of Pine Cones! Normally the needles would be green and these trees usually tolerate salt spray but Tropical Storm Isaias was such an anamolous storm with not much rain, so the salt spray even affected normally tolerant species which means the needles turned red. Hopefully by next summer most of the trees will recover.

      Longer than that. Thirty minutes via Long Island Railroad from Jamaica Station to Sayville, then a mile or so to the ferry. If a ferry leaves right away after boarding another 30 minutes to Fire Island. Not bad but 30 minutes would be a squeeze.

      @Runner Girl I agree with you to a certain extent and have grown to like you. That is not due to your having lived with two gay friends of whom you were fond. The thing is until NYC gets a little bit more back to normality as I'm confident it will once we have a vaccine (which looks to be soon) the town just doesn't look or film the same. I am loyal to AK, however, and will continue to watch regardless. I'm beginning to think that your mild objections are based upon wanting to protect AK and I can understand that. You don't want anything untoward to happen to him. I feel fairly certain that AK is confident and secure in who he is and will not be unduly influenced by anything that he does not want to be influenced by. I hope that makes you feel better and am touched by your thoughtful concern of AK. God bless you.

      @josfitz Před 3 lety

      Chill Kathleen - what do you mean "Do they not know how to cook there either?" Yes, they know how to cook, AK chose that restaurant and later said had he looked around he might have made a better choice. I have a couple of questions for you? Have you ever been to the Shore? Moreover, everything there has to be brought in on one of the ferry's. Pls clutch your pearls. Most of the entertaining is done within the individual homes not in public. Finally, when you say "do they not know how to cook there either?" I am temped to say yes they also know how to socialize, get together and have a good time. Good times sometimes also involve sexual experiences between and/or among consenting adults. Obviously, this place is not your vibe but please do not attempt to make snarky remarks just because it may not be your teacup, yes? BTW I am extremely healthy at my ideal body weight and I love to have tater tots on occasion. I would hope that your disparaging remarks were based upon your concerns for AK eating an healthy diet and not some other prejudicial unrelated thing. You drew the weirdest inferences from this video and made a strange off-putting remark. AK was enjoying himself exploring something new. Pls don't rain on his or anyone else's parade. Take care and have a good day.
