Here's a close-up of the photo above (where you can clearly see that Grant's risking his life to moon us). Hahaha.

Just me and tha Grizza.

The beach was absolutely deserted. No one was there.

See you next year!

So long sweet summer.

By the time we got out there and took a quick swim, the sun was already beginning to set.

A few minutes later, Colin realized he'd missed one of his quarter-hourly sunblock applications and we had to evacuate the beach before he spontaneously combusted. Um, either that or it was just getting late - I forget which.

Some were almost 6 feet tall!

Grant reading. Oh, and see those sunglasses he's wearing (which were borrowed from Tara)? Say goodbye to them, because it's the last time you'll ever see 'em! Shortly after this pic was taken, Grant accidentally threw the frisbee into the water and when he went in to retrieve it, he got utterly clobbered by a giant wave....and he lost both the frisbee and the glasses for good. Nice going....JERK!

Craziness, right?

Check out Grant doing his best to keep his footing while getting pummeled!

In all fairness to Grant, the waves were enormous that day.

We arrived to find our lovely beach even more deserted than usual.

Grant, Fatty, Colin (Big Daddy) and me.

See? Deserted!

Update 12/3/2002: This is a new picture - Grant kept bugging me to replace the picture that made him look like he had a "fat back" with the above pic that makes him look "buff."
fort tilden
With summer on it's way out Grant, Emily, Fatty and myself decided to ignore the day's forcast for rain and head back to Ft. Tilden for a little deserted beach action. (By the way - take a moment to appreciate just how great the picture above is).

I know I bring this up everytime I post pics of this place - but seriously, look at this pic. Can you believe this is about 10 miles from Manhattan?

Ah, yet another day trip out to the lovely Ft. Tilden with Frank, Colin, Liz and Grizzle.
fort tilden
Crazy, right?

Later on in the afternoon, Frank and Liz came out and met up with us. Here's Frank striking "sexy beach pose #482."

Ah, good ol' Ft. Tilden, our top secret beach spot that we discovered last year. Look how clean and empty this place is. When you're out there, it's almost impossible to believe that you're less than 10 miles from Manhattan.

My "Karate Kid Crane Kick" impression was quickly put to shame when...
