Yeah, I agree - I just hope it's not the thin edge of the wedge in terms of further restrictions.

I've NEVER seen Sachuest look worse than it did this past year and that includes the days of my youth (several hundred years ago) when you could drive all the way around the Point and there was no one there to keep an eye on it.

Ya know, Tattoo, the funny part is that while there has been vandalism to vehicles at night, the biggest contributor to the trashing of Sachuest was the daytime encampments that were there for those scup the size of a skillet that were there this season.
