Old Bethpage, New York Yesterday we had a great surprise visit from Ray Starke of Oyster Bay, who'd read about RoadTrip America in Newsday. We'd mentioned in an e-mail message that we were in Old Bethpage, and he guessed correctly that we were in Battle Row Campground, a Nassau County park. Today we're headed to Westbury.
