On the now lost Fogbow 1.0 I had posted about the use of exploited migrant farm workers on the NF in times past. Some NF shanty towns were shown on "Harvest of Shame".
A new book shines more light on the NF's exploitation of farm workers.

Early on the morning of Oct. 8, 1961, back when the North Fork was a very different place, fire alarms erupted in Cutchogue and trucks and crews raced to a patch of woods at the north end of the hamlet, near Oregon Road.
“Their destination was a raging fire at the infamous farm labor camp on Cox Lane,” writes Mark Torres in his new book, “Long Island Migrant Camps: Dust for Blood,” a history of the farm labor camps that once could be found in great numbers across eastern Long Island.
“For years the camp had been used to house hundreds of farm workers who traveled from other states to harvest potatoes and other crops on the vast farms of Long Island,” writes Mr. Torres, a labor and employment attorney, who will present a virtual lecture on the camps from Oysterponds Historical Society on Saturday, March 27, at 5 p.m.
According to Mr. Torres’ research, the fire was started by a leaky kerosene cooking stove inside one of the squalid barracks at the site. The workers used the makeshift stove because they could not afford the expensive meals offered by the crew chief who managed the camp.

Work is set to begin next month to shore up the land around the Montauk Point Lighthouse.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has announced more than $28 million in federal funding for the project.
Crews will work to strengthen the rock wall surrounding the structure, protecting it from further erosion.
It has become dangerous to visitors, and could be lost to the Atlantic Ocean.

At long last we have made plans to leave for the North Fork next Monday. 
Not looking forward to all the work of opening up.

Very cool, V. I know how much it means to you, and especially to Mrs. V, to see the cottage again.

No, but neighbors tell us they were overwhelmed with them until recently.

Yes. However the work of cottage opening is harder than I remembered.
We got spoiled by our new stairless house in WF. Now we try to minimize stair trips here.
Our cat is in bird heaven. She will probably spend the whole season on the porches.

Good luck with all the opening jobs. Is it any worse because it's been two seasons away?
