Assateague Island -- summer 09

[dtl 2k2 sport]

we'll i'm trying to sell my explorer, but if i still have it, I'll deff be in! Not exactly the greatest time to try to be selling one, so I'll figure it'll be in my f-ing drive way! lol anyone else have more pics, looks just like carolla beach.

i was just thinking wouldnt it suck to hit a horse in your explorer haha

 

[macknos94]

Insurance would cover it lol the island is not a off road area its a "road"

It is a very quiet and relaxing place. I used to go there all of the time as a kid but I have never driven on the beach there. I may be interested if I can come up with the extra money.

Something tells me we'll be paying 4 bucks again this summer ,lol this might be another one of those 6 page threads and 3 people show up ,,,,, lets all hope oil stays low! After the snow today i'm ready for some sand, and sun!

just to let everyone know, I am a member of assateague island mobile sportfisherman association. and I know for a fact if you are going to have a get together, you will need to obtain a permit if there are going to be more than 50 people attending, the permit can be obtained through the national park service. If there are less than 50 people not a prob. Also if your planning it for a weekend plan on a long wait to get onto the beach. Assateague has a 155 vehicle limit, meaning once the limit is hit it is a one off one on rule, so you can be sitting for hours waiting to get on the beach. I have found during the week there is no problem. The limit is for the maryland side, the virginia side is only like 35 vehicles, va also requires a seperate permit for nights and they do not allow dogs of beach fires. maryland allows dogs as long as there on a 6 foot leash and fires are ok. I am usually out there 4 to 5 times a week in the summer, surf fishin. I have taken my second gen out and my third gen with out any problems. I have only buried twice in 10 years and both were due to my stupidity.

then how far in advance would you say... we would need to " reserve " the beach for our get together... in your opinion ?????

im so down for this, and i cant wait !

 

[macknos94]

that's the reason why I posted it now. last year they let me cut everyone cuz im a government employee haha. but anyways yes we need a number im gonna say we will get at most 10 trucks. I still think it will be a blast.
so is it a definite that it will be the weekend of july 26th like the friday sat. sun or what

macknos, just as a suggestion, I would edit your first post with the names of people who are coming, who might be coming, and who aren't. This trip was a great idea, as I said before, count me in.

 

[lilbeefy]

should not be a problem for me to attend, I live 20 minutes away. I know the beach very well also.

 

[macknos94]

[CALDWELL]

It should still be alive, just the winter time kills peoples spirits!lol,
Sorry fellas,, i'm tapping out, i sold my explorer last month, 5k for it,, the kid got a hell of a deal, but I'll hopefully buy a very used explorer to play w/ you all again when the economy gets better in the next year or two.
