Log 11.09.96 - Milepost 72,703 Old Bethpage, New York Yesterday we had a great surprise
visit from Ray Starke of Oyster Bay, who'd read about
RoadTrip America in Newsday. We'd mentioned in
an e-mail message that we were in Old Bethpage, and he
guessed correctly that we were in Battle Row Campground,
a Nassau County park. Today we're headed to Westbury.
