You do! I just learned that today! The prof for Glacial Geology used to live on Long Island, and she told us how it actually is a glacial moraine! She had to travel to Iowa for school to figure that out, but still! Very much on the cool scale.
Point is juuuuuust a bit west of a terminal moraine. If you're traveling toward the east the landscape is all flat flat farmers field flat bunch of trees flat flat more trees and a Very Sudden Increase In Elevation And Wheee, I Can See For Miiiiiiiles! Not really, cause there are trees in the way, but! If there were no trees, I betcha I could see for miles.
On the down side there are, like, *no* hills at all in Point itself. It kind of makes watching storms roll in a challenge.
If she passed that information along, I missed it. Her last name is Lemke, but I don't know if that will do you any good since she's married and I don't think she kept her maiden name.
