Just a reminder that today is the last day to get your comments in regarding this important beach access issue. It is important to all of you who want access to beach, whether it is the Cape Cod National Seashore or some other stretch of beach, it is time to stand up and be counted - if you think that 'someone else' will do it for you, you are fooling yourself. You can bet that the people who don't want us on the beach, because they don't want to see our trucks, because they don't want us being 'cruel' to fish, or whatever, you can bet that their comments have been sent. We need to band together and make our voices heard, or they are going to get you off of your beach. Get off your butt and send something. A quick note is all that is needed. Copy & paste the following, and work off of it:

- actions should be taken to ensure people, taxpayers, etc can enjoy the National Seashore in the ORV fashion
- appreciate the fact the Seashore is trying to address a difficult situation, BUT
- think out of the box, open the alternate routes, train volunteer plover watchers, etc etc - try some different things, if it doesn't work try something else.
- how much money you contribute to the local economy, in general terms
- if it continues the way it is going, you have less incentive to come back, hurting the local economy as well as the Parks revenue stream.
