So Fire Island was totally fun. You can see the background from these pictures, the island itself is fairly rural. There are no roads or sidewalks. Everything is boardwalk.
.
It was quite a time! The only person missing (besides Scooter) is Trevor - who was the hit of the party.
.
Below are pictures of Randy, Ed, Jeff, Joey & Norman, Chuck & Dan, Jim & Joe.
We all had a lot of fun. We went to the July 4th Bay Dance (and met Christopher there - from LA). We took the pup to the beach - and he loved it.
.
This is the "invasion" of The Pines, by the Drag Queens from Cherry Grove. It is something to see. FYI - The Pines and Cherry Grove are 2 of about 5 communities on the island. Each community is reached by a different ferry.
.
Apparently 20 years ago 4 Drag Queens came to a gay bar on July 4th and the bar wouldn't serve them.
.
The next year 100 showed up and everyone laughed and now it is an annual event.
.
As you can see, they pile on a ferry (which lists more and more the closer it comes to shore). This area is the "harbor" which is also the only commercial area.
.
This, like Halloween in West Hollywood, has become a total party, regardless of sexual orientation. There were tons of kids. The Fire Island Homeowner's Association President (some older woman and her husband) announced the coming of the ferry.

It was a day!!
