OK P and 2na... now I gotta go dig thru my archives...
I got a Cape Codder article from the 50's somewhere in the "history heap"... where the town fathers in P-town and Truro.. (remember this was pre NPS)..address the "tent cities" in the dunes, and the deploreable unsanitary conditions etc., and other issues they had..
I also remember Bob Andrews reminisceing to me on this issue a few years ago....he was Pres. of the mbba during that blow-up, and somehow the club got involved...but it kinda led to the designation of what became the "self-contained" campers... ( mostly bread trucks and sedan delivery wagons converted, back then... a few steel sided jeeps too) back then... the tents kinda went away..but a few die hards like George flew under the radar...for the most part.
And yes Mike...P-town was a much different town then, than it is now.... as is the whole cape...
It was a more bohemian lifestyle years ago on the cape...free and easy...lot more wide open places too.
