I get to the point where I put on my cheapest piece of tin, so that if I hook up, I won't mind losing it.

The biggest shame is that this combined with the plovers will drive fishermen off the beach, fewer people will buy stickers and eventually, the beaches will be closed to ORV due to a lack of funding and "lack of interest."

That's how we lost the biggest stretches of beaches back in the 80s---bass stocks crashed, no one bought 4x4 passes and we lost over 20 miles of beach--which our great-grandkids won't even get back

I saw more beach-rigged campers with MBBA decals parked along the Canal this past weekend than I used to see at Long Bar back in the 80s
