Not sure of the penalty now. back when I was running heavy (80s and 90s), there was talk that they would impound your truck for no sticker. I know guys who ran the closed section and got caught and got a stern warning but nothing more.
I am glad I bought a boat. I use to love the Back and spent hundreds of nights running from the the access road to High Head. It is truly a shame that the beaches are run by the Plover and Seal lovers.
Perhaps if you guys who are still buying the permits stopped for a year or 2 maybe the CCNS would feel the pinch from the lack of revenue. Perhaps the local economy in P-Town and Truo would also feel the lost dollars. Then maybe something sane could be enacted.
I don't know what the answer is but certainly the current state of affairs leads me to believe that the running of the Back is coming to an end for good.
