Yes, it is all gone. I went to the MVsurfcasters banquet where they had a trustee talk about what the plan was for the stairs. It is all up in the air right now. It sounded like they wanted to do something though but right now they don't know exactly what. I think step one is to remove the junk , the wait to see if this stabilizes at all.
As for driving on the beach. It is my opinion but I think it will be a lot sooner then most think. If you look how fast the beach built up on the other side where you have a newly developed point, it gets high enough pretty quick. I am going to guess that it closes up completely sometime in 2012 and I would think barring any major storms that cause significant damage that by 2013 we should be on the beach. I also think it might even be possible by derby 2012 but that is a long shot. That would be great as I have seen enough pain from being forced to use that ferry.
BTW, this event (breaks along this beach) to the west migrating to the east until they get to where they are now, closing up and stabilizing for like 10-40 years then starting all over has happened multiple times in the past. I have see historic photos and maps that have shown this in all stages. Some kids here have done science project on the movement of this opening in the past with great photos and drawings.
As for poge...that beach in front of the lighthouse right now is gone as well and is closed, if you need to get by you need to go in the inside.
The second breach that occurred last year near poge has not re-occurred this year.
