Geocache Description:

Another stop on the Douglaston Trail. The view is of Great Neck, NY or "West Egg" in F. Scott Fitzgerald's " The Great Gatsby". Douglaston is a very nice neighborhood. The caching series in this neighborhood is a great walk all year round. Great Views! *PLEASE PARK ON THE SIDE STREET. IT IS SAFER!* This is a park n' grab. Cache is a plastic "urban camo'ed" jar with some swag for the kids. FTF Trackable placed as well. BYOP.

Great Neck is the setting for F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby". Great Neck is located on the shores of Long Island Sound, sits across another bay from Manhasset Neck or Cow Neck Peninsula, which includes the communities of Port Washington, Manhasset, Port Washington North and Sands Point, and was home to many of New York's wealthiest established families. In his novel, Great Neck became the new-money peninsula of "West Egg" and Manhasset Neck the old-money peninsula of "East Egg".
