Figured I'd get one more trip in before they shut down the park.

Feb 15th till either the 17th or 18th.

Might consider camping at East cape this time.

Anyone else.

Mike claims he's packing minimal cooking gear. The over/under on the number of trips he has to make back to the ramp is 3.

Are you being facetious because of the other thread? Or do you know something about the park I don't know?

If you plan on camping on East Cape beach, for firewood, the regulations only allow you to use what you find on the ground. Also, the tide swing there is a couple of feet and depending on the slope of the beach that can be 20-40 feet horizontally. You saw how my boat was beached. I also did not rely on having the anchor be the sole method of holding my boat in place. I brought 200 feet of rope to run up the beach and tie off to the trees. If I had to do it again, I would still use the the 200 feet of rope for the trees and use an anchor off the stern keeping the boat out in the water a few feet. How far out you anchor the boat will depend on what tide you anchor at.
