Piping Plover Race Point
Good news: The back trail to the lighthouse opened up yesterday. Hatches and 400 yards at the traps accessible.
Bad news: Shortly thereafter a plover was run over and the knucklehead that did it brought the corpse up to the station for a weigh in, rather than giving it a decent and private burial. Rumor has it that it was one of the lighthouse dorks.
The rangers have gone out of their way to get us out there (contrary to popular opinion, the rangers are 100% on our side, but they do not have last say). Fish and Game (the bird people) must have checked off on opening the trail. I predict that it will lead to (what else?) stricter regs on when they can open beach.
I'm off to begin a trail side shrine. I'm thinkin' a KFC bucket to start.
