    Besides the waves being small and junky, do you like this?

    There must be no f*ckin piping plovers down there. Or, they've been flattened by the beach traffic and remaining birds went north to obx.

    That's normal. You can drive up and down the beach all the way up to the inlet and back. It's very convenient actually

    'Round these here parts the only way an Accord is making it onto the sand is to drive directly at it as fast as possible and will only achieve about 10 yards at best. Big ole 4x4's get stuck pretty frequently too.... not mine though.

    Oh I see why you were confused... Yeah, the sand is pretty packed in the driving lane so you drive up and down w/no issues usually (sometimes it gets soft in certain areas), it gets very soft when you pull into a spot though, people do get stuck when they park / leave, usually it's pickup trucks with no 4x4 or a Honda like the one you saw. I have a Tahoe w/4x4 luckily, so I've never gotten stuck, but i've helped a few people out.

    Conditions a little cleaner now, still looking so so but not too bad for light on-shores

    lol...last year, i saw some douche try to pull on the OSV with a older Mercedes(car), it was hilarious, he got two tires onto the sand and the thing bottomed out on the edge of the pavement. They had to get a tow truck to pull him out and he got slapped with a hefty fine...sucks to be a retodd.

    Guys, the tab will only show when the contest is live!
    So, right now, its set to show from 10am to 4pm.
    I wish they gave me more precise start and end times.
