Cut it!

If you're thin you can enter Ruggles without cutting...

I can anyways. Joe you probably can too.

Haven't tried Ledge yet but I have a plan for that that doesn't involve cutting.

I'm more concerned about coming back to the road and finding my truck towed.

Cutting it will just anger the ones who are in charge of installing it then u will really have problems.perhaps if someone talked to them a gate or passage way can be left so surfcasters an fisherman can have access.i think they are more worried about the average tourist then guys who climb rocks in the middle of the night.Of course they will probably just dismmiss ur request.

You're right Pete - Joe should be able to squeeze in - it's his bucket that won't make it

Have to plug Joe!
Parking restrictions are inevidible if we're not discreet about access.

NIB you're right - cutting is going to really create problems - I hope the authorities don't think the fishermen did it. The surfers around here are hardcore - during hurricane swells they give the cops the finger when the police tell them to get out of the water. The cops just drive away.

Hey Pete, do you think I'll fit?

In The Surf · 09-08-2005, 08:30 AM

This definately needs to be addressed, and as far as towing vehicles, what about these permits we paid for to allow us to park there! Does Mike have any input from the city about this? Hell he is a city employee. Hope we can come up with a favorable solution to this!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've contacted the city to see what can be done about those of you who purchased a permit. I'm looking for a refund and/or credit. Southern area of Cliff Walk (Ruggles to Bailey's) slated to be closed until July 2006. Stay tuned.

I'm going to continue to park as it isn't posted that we can't park there. I would think most cops wouldn't mind; we could simply be going for a walk on the streets NEAR the Walk. If I get towed, I'll be raising hell. They can expect to see me in court since it's almost a guaranteed win.

Sea Dangles - Is a 5lb robin fat?

Good thing I can only afford PB&J's. I'll fit right through.

I'll have absolutely NO problem then!

DZ, Is it to late to turn this around and get some bass stands and "Chums" in key locations as part of the design/construction? Who do we need to talk to?
