RE:Yeah, yeah!!!
Dave, jah need all the usual equipment and close to a "buck-and-a-half" I think the O-S sticker goes for $140 or something like that--a big hit for me nowadays to use maybe 5 times a year. Specifically, you need a jack and a jack support (12"x12" piece of 5/8" or thicker plywood), a full spare, tow rope/chain/strap, shovel equal in size to military entrenching tool or better, and a low-pressure tire gauge reading down to 5 psi in 1 pound increments--did I leave anything out? Oh yeah, I think they want you to have a tide chart, too. The stock tires on your Jeep will meet the minimum size regs, whatever they are. I believe you still have to log on and log off the beach, and once you leave you have to stay away a minimum of 6 hours with the O-S permit. Max stay is 24 hours. Watch out for a Chatham cop named Love---he's a Lieutenant now and a legendary chop-buster.
The trail between the guard house and Pochet (gate #1) can flood during a moon tide. For some reason, the area in front of and just to the north of gate #3 usually produces.
