Cape Cod Beach Run: August 27th and 28th

[V8BoatBuilder]

A few people at the NEOW.org forums are planning a beach run at the Cape Cod National Seashore Offroad Corridor for the end of August. I'm going to be joining them for some sandy fun - who's in?

http://forum.neow.net/index.php?showtopic=42122

Permits are $30 for a 7-day period, so I'll most likley buy mine for the week before and spend lots of time on the sand. (Which is a fantastic deal, since normal beach access is $15/day).

Permit info is here:

Permits can be bought in advance, or on the day of arrival.

There is also National Park Service camping at Nickerson State Park, in Brewster, and private campgrounds close enough that airing up isn't necessary.

For those who don't know, the CCNS runs the Eastern tip of Cape Cod, out by Provincetown. I've been to the beach many times (its awesome), but never purchased a permit to drive the truck on the sand.

Bring your fishing equipment, too!

P-Town is about 2.5 hours from Boston, but worth the drive for the camping, wheeling, fishing, and the town.

:rofl smilie: :BS smilie:


Our smilies suck. Anyways, I'd love to take my fishing equipment up; provided I get some decent stuff. Don't I need a permit, though?

 

[V8BoatBuilder]

Saltwater fishing is free - no permit required!

However, you'll need the truck permit to drive on the sand.

Don't think so, but you can call the ranger station. The phone # is listed in the first post link.

Gotta see if I can talk my brother into going on this one even though it is a four hour drive for us , and he has fishing equipment too..........wish me luck


Damn Matt, you'll have an almost seven hour drive

 

[SoBeLover]

Ah hell, talked to my brother and he is not interested in going

Most baja trucks are 2WD. With those muds, as long as you kept momentum up the dunes i'd think you'd be good, especially with a non-open diff. Which rear end do you have anyways?

By the way, if you're unsure, make sure you have recovery points just in case. (Tow hooks, etc.) So we can pull your ass outta the dunes if necessary.

The 6 Hour trip or so will be worth it! I am takeing my Rig Semi Off Road.

Limited slip/ what do you suggest for hooks.
