Today I’m organizing my book shelf, continuing to work on my lines for the movie #amityvilketurkeyday (filming in #longislandny next week!) & dancing my buns off at @xcessevansville from 9pm until 3am! This may be your very last chance to see me off before I move to #austintexas for 2 months to study comedy! I won’t be back & able to work in town again until after May, most likely as I have a movie shoot & huge content shoot as soon as I return! So come on down to #xcessevansville tonight! I may or may not dance again tomorrow. Depends on the direction of the wind… 🌬️ 📸: @originalindyboudoir Lingerie: @sheinofficial Thigh highs: (as always) @kixiesthighhighs Hair: 18in wavy in “Beach Blonde” (toned by me!) by @bellakurls (Use code *JESSA* for a discount on your order for textured clip/in extensions!)

MUTTONTOWN PRESERVE - LONG ISLAND

Should we talk about a place that I HATE and will not return to ever again?

I bet you weren’t expecting that, were you?

Would you also be surprised that it is a place that allegedly has buried treasure from a King of Albania?

💰: FREE (aren't the worst things in life always free?)

⏰: 9:30am to 4:30pm, 365 days 

🌎: 34 Muttontown Lane, East Norwich, LI (Chelsea Mansion)

♿️: not really? The grounds around Chelsea Mansion are manageable but don’t go to Muttontown Preserve

🏃‍♀️: it’s 550 acres and a maze, but sure! call it beginner if you want.

🐶: No pets, but I’ve also seen people walking their dogs and maybe you need an animal to guide you out of this hellhole

🚗: park by Chelsea Mansion, if you read nothing else, just PARK BY CHELSEA MANSION

📸: high Instagramability by Chelsea Mansion

📍: ancestral land of the Matinecock chieftancy

Okay, TECHNICALLY, I DID return very briefly a few weeks ago BUT that was only to get pictures of WHERE NOT TO GO. And I did not step foot out of the parking lot. This place gave me PTSD.

Why create what will essentially equate to a “shitpost”, you may ask?

Why not just NOT include it? 

Because people should be WARNED. 

I looked at the google reviews recently and finally found out I was not alone. For years this place has haunted me.

How did my friend, @himynameisnotjoby and I get SO lost?

We literally had a paper map PROVIDED BY THE PRESERVE and we STILL got the kind of lost where we started to get legit worried and it was getting dark and we were only getting MORE lost. The kind of lost that involved scaling fences and bushwhacking and eventually listening for the sounds of cars and just following that and hoping it led us towards one of the main roads, which by the way IS how we got ourselves UN-lost eventually. 

Muttontown Preserve deserves a post because it is a DANGER to Long Islanders. 

The amount of reviews on Google that mention just how deeply lost people have gotten over the years was staggering, and also validating for Joby and I. One person even mentioned that you shouldn’t go there without a literal compass because THAT is how big the potential for getting hopelessly disoriented in this hellscape masquerading as a “Preserve” is. 

According to the Nassau County website, Muttontown Preserve is 550! ACRES, making it the largest nature preserve on Long Island. 

Those aren’t facts, THOSE ARE WARNINGS! 

The same website also claims that “The preserve includes miles of marked nature trails with local wildflowers, trees, birds…” blah blah blah. MARKED TRAILS, MY ASS.

Allegedly, the trail markings HAVE been improved in very recent years, but I refuse to go back and see if that’s true for myself so if you decide to go, you are doing so of your own volition. 

There are four things that lure people to the Muttontown Preserve (of Lost Souls): 

equestrian trails

“safe” hiking for normal people WHO JUST WANTED TO ENJOY A NICE WALK AT A NEW PARK

Chelsea Mansion 

The hidden treasures of the last King of Albanian

So, where does one start? 

I guess, do you have a horse? No? Then don't come here!

I honestly think this place would’ve been less scary if at least I had been on a horse because also when you get lost for AS LONG as Joby and I did that ill-fated day, you start to get tired, which is also scary. My legs were TORN UP from bugs and thorny bushes. A horse would’ve, in theory, solved that. But we didn't have horses and unless you have one though, don’t come here. And even if you do... don't come here.

PARKING SITUATION (THIS IS IMPORTANT):

The problem for Joby and I that harrowing day, I think, was that I learned about Muttontown Preserve because I drove past it randomly (probably on the way back from a different park in the area) and drove past the Equestrian Parking entrance off of Jericho Oyster Bay Road/Route 106 and thought that was the only parking area. 

DO NOT PARK AT THE EQUESTRIAN PARKING AREA OFF OF JERICHO OYSTER BAY ROAD/ROUTE 106! I DO NOT CARE THAT IT IS THE CLOSER PARKING AREA TO THE OLD KNOLLWOOD ESTATE AND KING ZOG’S TREASURE. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FIND THE TREASURE ANYWAY, YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER FIND YOUR WAY OUT OF THE PRESERVE IF YOU GO IN SEARCH OF IT. AGAIN, I WILL NOT BLAMED ON NEWS 12 FOR YOUR DISAPPEARANCE. 

I’ll get back to King Zog and the alleged buried treasures and the burned down remains of Knollwood Estate in the next post. 

IF YOU INSIST ON COMING TO THIS CURSED PLACE, here is my advice: SKIP MUTTONTOWN PRESERVE ALTOGETHER. 

Okay, here is my ACTUAL ADVICE: drive up to Jericho Turnpike/Route 25A and park either at the parking lot next to Chelsea Mansion or you can find the entrance around the corner from the parking lot by Chelsea Mansion and park there because that is a trailhead that is usually supplied with maps.

If you want to hear about Chelsea Mansion and King Zog I of Albania's buried treasures, watch this space for a Chelsea Mansion post coming later this week.

and also, let me just reiterate, Muttontown Preserve makes my “RUN AWAY FROM” list. You have been thoroughly warned.

Lenoir Preserve and Native American Heritage Month

As Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and more importantly, November is “Native American Heritage Month”, I wanted to make this post today. 

This will not be my main post about Lenoir Preserve but this is an important update for this page going forward.

Research about social media states that being authentic and showing your genuine personality are two ways to gain followers. Nowadays, though, bringing up things that could potentially trigger claims of “politics” or leaning one way or another can make an “influencer” lose a broader audience.  (I hope I'm never considered an influencer...)

With that being said, being authentic is much more important to me than gaining a “broad audience” or getting the most followers possible. My authenticity lies in my passion for the intersection of accurate history, social justice, and the recognition of personal privilege. Being a white woman, from a relatively middle class background, is my form of privilege and having this platform, however big or small it may get, means I need to use it to lift up voices that are not as often heard. 

November is “Native American Heritage Month” and I would like to make a pledge that was inspired by a favorite IG of mine, @thruhikers; that pledge being: I endeavor to research and recognize and uplift the plight of the tribes who’s ancestral homes we stole and colonized and pushed them out of on land where these parks that I post about reside on. 

 I decided to use Lenoir Preserve as the jumping off point for this pledge because they have done the bare minimum as a park to include some Native American history as it is related to the Preserve. They broadly explain that the land was originally occupied by the Lenni Lenape, which they defined as “true people” and that at some point in time they no longer lived there.

It was an attempt at acknowledgement, I suppose. 

There are no remnants of the Lenni Lenape that one could casually find on a walk around Lenoir Preserve, which is a travesty and is the result of centuries of colonization by the Dutch and the English and later just urbanization of modern New Yorkers.

I’m going to do my best to at the very least on IG, give you the name of the people who’s ancestral home you’d be visiting, and here on tumblr, I will always do my absolute best “former history major research attempt” to give you more information if you’d like to educate yourself about the people who lived here for thousands of years before us and treated this land with such respect and reverence. 

It feels impossible to me to be able to post about these wonderful parks, refuges, preserves, whatever, and then to just completely ignore that everywhere I post about is stolen land.

I have no interest in having followers who reject history regarding Native Americans or who think that they are somehow more entitled to the United States than people who are immigrating here now.

ALL AMERICANS are immigrants, except those who were here before the Europeans came.

I can EASILY trace my family coming here from Ireland in the 1700s and Germany in the 1800s. I come from a family of immigrants.

The Lenni Lenape people emigrated to North America when mastodons were still alive, so this is their land, and the least I can do is give them that recognition. 

ESPECIALLY THE DAY BEFORE AMERICAN THANKSGIVING… with its bastardized version of history where the Indigenous populations and the colonizers had a wonderful dinner and meeting of the minds, instead of the truth of the Native Americans teaching the colonizers how to properly farm the new land and how to hunt and forage and not die in North America, only to be then met with accidental and purposeful murder through diseases and then just erasure through forced migration or assimilation. 

I don’t have strong feelings about this at all OBVIOUSLY…. 

Recognizing the Native Americans who lived where I now live and visit is the least I can and will do, and if you don’t want to read about it on occasion, there are plenty of other places to get information about parks in New York State. 

Please watch this space for a true post about Lenoir Preserve coming this weekend and thanks for reading this far if you did!

credit for the map of the "13 tribes" of Long Island goes to a young man named Jeremy Dennis, who is a member of the Shinnecock nation out on the East End of Long Island who is trying to preserve Native history on Long Island with his incredible website which you can see more about here!
