However, I received a number of inquiries asking whether access to West End, extended to the weekend through Monday.As a result, I followed up with NYS Parks again on Twitter and they just confirmed that access includes the weekend. Please see tweet here with the confirmation https://twitter.com/nystateparks/status/1662188574702198784?s=46=yCd8zvCt5vAwEYLwhkC5wwGiven that there is an air show at Jones Beach this weekend, keep this email thread handy just in case you need to show that access was confirmed.Have a blessed Memorial Day Weekend!“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves could free our mind.” ~ Bob Marley“Tenderness and Kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution” ~ Khalil Gibran"I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." ~ Frederick Douglass風　Swift as the wind林　Quiet as the forest火　Conquer like the fire山　Steady as the mountainSun Tzu  The Art of War(\__/)(= '.'=)                                            (") _ (")                                     Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device! Andrew Bakshwww.birdingdude.blogspot.comOn May 26, 2023, at 1:32 PM, Andrew Baksh  wrote:Just now Jennifer-Wilson Pines shared a screenshot showing George Gorman from Parks, conceding the entry denial to West End this morning was in error. I am unable to post the image here but it is available at this link which I tweeted.
