That island: Most of it deforested when there could be fruit and agriculture. The entire thing criss-crossed with a tight grid of curvy roads everywhere. I guess they must like auto-x or something? Totally pointless. All the buildings in the center, when there could be some nice cottages with beach views along the coast. The marina doesn't have a nearby dry dock building to store over winter. Just why.
You do realize that it has been in private hands since it was given as a royal grant by the British crown..

It is not deforested, it has some the last remaining old growth forest on it in the northeast.. Forests on eastern Long Island are typically stunted growth compared to forests in the Catskills or Adirondacks.

Quote:

It is home to more than 1,000 acres of old growth forest, the largest stand of white oak trees in the Northeast, 1,000 acres of meadows, rare birds, Indian artifacts, and structures that date back to the 17th century.
It has a large manor house, and a number of out building, a grain mill, etc.. There are deer, pheasant , turkey, rabbits , etc..Fishing in the waters around the island is world class, lobster, clams, striped bass ,fluke, flounder, black sea bass crab .. seals sun themselves on the beaches..

Its really a remarkable place..

The firm I worked for was hired to perform an updated survey of the island.. I spent a few weeks commuting from Montauk, to Gardiners Island.. It was a pleasure working there for a few weeks...

I remember parking next to one of those in 1974 in my new 914 2.0. Our front tires were both at the curb stop, and my rear bumper came to his back doors, and he had a lot of overhang in the front.

American computer scientist and United States Navy rear admiral Grace Hopper born (December 9, 1906 – January 1, 1992). A pioneer of computer programming, Hopper devised the theory of machine-independent programming languages. The FLOW-MATIC programming language she created using this theory was later extended to create COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today.

Watched the video. It is indeed. 300 deer per year just to keep the herd steady.
There are just a lot of roads..

I believe Midgets had impact bumpers by 1975. That car appears to have earlier chrome bumpers.

NOW THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL A RICK! Thatching at Kew, 1943… This large hayrick was built by J A Simon, ‘a refugee from Alderney in the Channel Islands’. It is now having a slice cut from it, by the gent on top of the ladder. The rick was built along Channel Islands lines. The rick behind is in the process of contruction, under a temporary sheet. ‘Kew cuts its own hay for the five Suffolk Punch horses’.

Ever wonder how Baseline Road got its name? With a few exceptions, all land surveyed in Arizona started at this point, creating the survey baseline. It is on a small butte overlooking Phoenix Raceway

And the guy on the ladder is almost certainly using one of these to cut hay out of the rick.
