Hmmm...I vaguely remember a place like that ...

Let me think on it for a while.....the old memory isn't what it used to be....

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Don't think too hard ... it's a compilation of many different dirt road experiences from my past.

Well written!
It "paints" an awesome picture that only those who have ventured out on these kinds of excursions can fully appreciate.

One of my personal favorite sites/sounds was the fog horn coming from out near Duxbury Beach (that's the direction it came from).
I had worked in an office that had a fax machine that made the same exact pitched sound when receiving a fax, so I could always close my eyes and be back on the bridge on a foggy day/night while fishing.

I have seen more than my share of nature's wonders, and I feel myself wanting for more!
