Hey Rick,
Thanks for the tip. I was looking at it more as a clear shot over the water
to NY with a reasonable path to New England as well. I guess it makes sense
that no one is aiming that way. Is it a decent place to end up on Sunday? I
don't think it would work in the middle of a loop as it o a little out of
the way (or a lot out of the way)
