Routes to Upton Camp
for Motor
Visitors

For the benefit of those who are
planning to run down to Camp Upton in
the near future, the touring bureau OF
the American Automobile Association,
sol Fifth Avenue, has made survey of
the route leading to the camp. The
shortest possible route is that via Jer-
icho Turnpike and the Middle County
Road This road is very good as far as
Smithtown, but the balance from that
point to Camp Upton, distance of six
teen miles, is not improved, and hence
is in poor condition at present. While
everything possible is being done to
whip this road into shape in the short
est possible space of time. it is not be-
lievcd that it will be in fit condition
for heavy auto traffic for at least two
weeks to come.
Motorists who would motor to Camp
Upton with the least possible discom-
fort are therefore strongly advised to
follow the Merrick and South Shore
roads, as they will then find a good
hard road all the way to Tangier, a
York. The road leading north to the
camp from this point, which is only
about six miles in length, is under con-
otra''to open to traffic nHe The top dressing has
not been laid on part Of it, but cars
can run over the bottom layers Of
broken stone without very much dis
comfort.
AS the season advances, the motor
traffic over this route will increase
enormously, particularly on Sundays
! and holidays. To avoid this congestion
on the Merrick Road. many motorists
will no doubt prefer to follow the
Motor Parkway, where there is {
| straightaWav run of nearly forty-fiye
miles,, with no speed regulations Of
crossings of any kind to hamper fast
running. To reach the Motor Park
way from Jamaica, follow Hillside Ave
nue. to the Rocky Hill Road and turr
left at the greenhouses. The entrance
to the Parkway is only short distance
north of this point on the Rocky Hill
Road.
The end of the Motor Parkway is a
