LONG ISLAND MOTOR PARKWAY - continued

Additional WESTERN NASSAU COUNTY Documentation, (28 Dec 03)
continuing coverage of the peregrinations of the Long Island Motor Parkway across the Long Island landscape, returning to the Searingtown area of western Nassau County.
Motor Parkway Panel Associate Howard Kroplick sent me these 2003 shots of surviving Motor Parkway posts in Searingtown; the first is on Old Searingtown Road, just SE of the NW corner of Old Searingtown and Searingtown Roads, two houses in from the coner and three houses E of Old Homestead, nearly buried by raised landscaping: (28 Dec 03)

The second is of a discarded post lying on the ground behind the VFW Post on the NE corner of the LIMP RoW and Searingtown Road.
[I should note (no, I shouldn't) that Howard posted the photos to me and I've now posted them here, so that should make the first an Old Searingtown Road post post post and the second a VFW Post post post post!] :·)
I'd never noticed these before and saw the first post in the evening of 21 Oct 04 and went back on 23 Oct 04 to document it a bit more; note that it is rectangular, not triangular, although the angle of Howard's shot make it look so: (23 Oct 04)

I wonder if the raised mound is part of the old LIMP bridge berm. The first shot is looking ENE toward the traffic light and street signs at the intersection of both roads (and San Juan Avenue on the far side). You can readily see why it's not all that easy to spot the post, which looks more broken off than buried to me. However, there is a rusty metal rod or pipe through the hole and that makes me wonder if the pipe is a later addition or part of a bridge railing. The second photo is looking NE and the third NW, while the last is looking NNW. There was a big party at the VFW hall so I did not cross over there. (23 Oct 04)
