    As the show gets close, I will check the tide to make sure that I will not have to move during the show due to the possibility of the water moving up the beach. If the tide is going out, I too will be right at the shore. If the tide is coming in I would not be caught anywhere near there.

    Josh,

    To get to Jones Beach take the Meadowbrook parkway south to its end. Look to park in Parking field 4 or 5. Last year I stood with all the media that was covering the show, which was pretty much dead center, The water tower would be right behind you.

    Eric -

    What time you planning on getting there? If you keep your cell phone with you, I'll call you when I get there.

    Just out of curiosity, is the light favorable for pictures from this vantage point you're referring to?
