I think Capesams has some great suggestions. I'd like to expand on them.

Campers -
72 hrs on/ 72 off is a good suggestion
No towing boat trailers - good also
No chase vehicles - good too
Why should they get to use up all this beach space for days.
Up the anti for the campers. It costs at least $100 a night for a
room up there.
Raise the camper rate to $500 (or more) per year.

Run the normal SUV's like Nauset - unlimited permits - check in - check out - limits as to # of vehicles based on conditions. This senerio would probably only apply from July - August. Use before and after that probably wouldn't warrant limits (maybe with the exception of weekends).

Just one personal observation. An elderly gentleman from Truro probably won't be driving the beach this year. He has been driving the beach for his own enjoyment for longer than 99% of the people on this BB have been alive. He was born in Truro and has lived all his life there. He was there long before the CCNSS was ever thought of. But due to advancing age and failing health he is unable to endure the marathon waits for beach stickers so he is out of luck. He lives 5 minutes from the beach but will be unable to drive out on it. In his place will be a bunch of people who live 5 hours or more from the beach. They may go there once or twice for an hour or two this season. I wonder how many other sad cases similar to this gentleman there are? Did or does the CCNSS take into consideration these situations? Should they?
