Very well written. Thanks for posting it derf. There is more factual local information in this single post then all the articles, posts, gripes, etc. littering the internet. I can only hope that the original author shows up in person to speak at next "town hall meeting" (so to speak).

I love how they say drippy leaky SUV's.
Most trucks are in pretty good shape that drive the beach.
They kind of have to be. It really stinks breaking down out there.
I know that here we have to have a valid inspection sticker and they inspect our vehicle.
I am sure if they saw oil leaking out we wouldn't get our pass.
Once they implement the same thing down in N C there shouldn't even be an issue with that.
That is something that can be brought into the plan.

It's mind boggling.
I can't even read that crap without steam coming out of my ears.
They make it sound like there are buggies all over every beach, when in fact there are only a few areas available for off road use.
But they want it all.
Whenever I meet anyone who share those views I invite them to come out with me.
Once they see the care and respect that we give the beach and catch a few fish they jump off the bandwagon.
So my guess is the enviros have never even had the experience.
One of them must have been bored one day and got the rest of them P & M.

OSV users have been losing ground for years. There is no question in my mind that at some point driving on the beach will be history. There are simply too many of "them" and not enough of "us". If the outer banks goes green we will fall soon after, no question, esp if it is decided in a court.

$5 /gallon for your boat and stay off the beach and no fishing with any lead. Mark my words this will happen in our lifetime....time to find a new hobby.

I have faith in Holland and Knight.
They have won many of these cases.
They are also the lawyers for the MBBA.
I don't understand legalease but from what I could understand H& K
knows what they are doing.
