Cross Sound Ferry to Long Island
One of my favorite trips is via the Cross Sound Ferry to Long Island. For anyone who has made the trip, you’ll know that Plum Island is just part of the scenery along the way. While most people are familiar with the light house that has stood on the property since 1869, the island is also home to the high security Animal Disease Center currently owned by the Department of Homeland Security. The Department has recently announced their intention to move their facility to Kansas and are planning to conduct an environmental study of the property to get it ready for sale.
I must admit my first thought when reading the news was what a great location it is for a For Sale sign!
