remember both incidents... there was much talk of the Ballston/Pamet break becoming permanent at some point....
as we know, nothing is permanent in the sand...but that is a logical place for a break in the cape..at some point in time, in the future...as is the area near the Orleans Eastham town line...the Rotary area... the historic site of Jerimiah's Gutter... the first CC...(almost) canal....
