What's the action like now that the weather has warmed up and the cover is better?

If you witness entrapments, busts, raids, phony/illegal curfews, etc., please don't keep it to yourself but contact the Gay City News. There has been a raise in entrapments and other anti-gay police misconduct in NYC. The Gay City News focuses needs to know what's going on. Therefore, please send them a short "witness report" by e-mail. You can contact them through the following e-mail address: editor @ gaycitynews. com

Alas, the days of threeways, fourways and moreways in the open are long gone, especially on the peninsula. For several years, doing anything anywhere but deep in the bushes way, waaayyy away from any paved walk or well worn path is really just asking for problems with the popo. There is not enough cover anywhere in the winter.

Guys - be careful here. I walked through tonight just to see if anyone was out in the cold, and at about 6:30 watched 2 guys get taken away in handcuffs by cops who busted them. They were getting it on in the peninsula. The cops were two young guys who had been hanging out, and then one of them approached the guys going at it and arrested them. I then saw a bunch of other guys around the Rambles who I assumed to be cops as well. Watch out.

Is this place still happening? Had my first time here a few years ago with a topless jogger. Cumming back to NYC in a week and would love to play with some hotties if it's still hot here...

I ran into a guy in his 40's I'd say. We figured it was to visible. We headed west. He was headed to Central Park West. Carrying a little black bag, dressed like he was a model at banana republic. If you think this is you please email me. I know this is a long shot

The Ramble is probably busiest shortly after sunset, before it is completely dark. You might want to consider going while it is still light to scope out the lay of the land and find your way around a little bit, since some of the most active areas get pretty dark and are not well lit at night. As noted before there is work going on with large areas fenced off, and areas where the work is finished are now free of brush and filled with bright lights. Hope you enjoy your visit to NYC Oh yeah, it is a bad idea to stay past closing time at 1:00 am. The cops can be very aggressive and will ticket people for being in the park past that time. No idea what they would do to a foreign visitor.

THE BEST GAY PLACE FOR YOUNG GUYS ON PLANET EARTH IS JUST NORTH OF BRATTLEBORO, VERMONT!!! From Brattleboro, Vt: Go north on SR-30 for 8.5 miles to Williamsville Rd. on the left. Park in the parking area on SR 30. Walk up Williamsville Rd, until you reach the first little drive on the right called Station Rd. (GPS 42* 56– 48.05–N by 72* 38– 30.46–W) Walk in on Station Rd. towards 3 small houses. (It looks like a private drive, but it's not!) Walk toward the wooden fence and past a small shack which almost blocks the path. Then walk along the trail which follows the river for about a mile. Go up the wooden stairway on the trail and keep going for another 1/4 mile, then cross the river at a shallow spot and you will be in the gayest nudist place in the Northeast!
