Factor in that Mother Nature is the one that is going to be the dagger in the heart of beach use. Erosion will take what the feelgooders have not. The user groups are outnumbered and outmonied and out lobbied and fight too much amongst themselves...I reached a point where I have more years behind me than in front of me.. i pick my so called "fights" and pass on most, and am just trying to optimize the time i have left..the next generation cares more about video games, so as Clammer would say, enjoy what you have... I have a real clean low mileage motorhome that i picked up cheap a year and ahlaf ago.. take about 2 grand to get it "beach ready" wheels big tires and lift and racks and such... light bulb went on... for less than a couple grand i picked up a skiff and will fish way more... and won't be sitting in the driveway weekends all summer polishing the wheels that won't see sand... and it looks like I will be able to "flip" the motorhome and just about double my money... win/win...
as opposed to loose/loose... no brainer.
If that makes me a bad person...so be it...
several 12 foot tides on the chart for this summer... if the beach is open.. willl have to drive thru 3 foot puddles and the "river" road... plus the front beach floods out pretty regular now too...know what that does to a vehicle... I do...ruined waaay too many nice vehicles over the years...
I'll still get a sticker...won't head south to north beach..(it's a chatham/orelans thing...go south to get north...) as for me, that side is FUBAR... but will head north to the inlet (resident) side... most likely get the NPS sticker as well and the overnight pass for the parking lots...just because old habits die hard...
but.. back to the first part... mother Nature..WILL have the FINAL say..that is my prediction...
watch the video in my "where is nauset part two" thread ...
tough to watch..but ya can't fight the facts...
