    If you guys are parking on the old beach road on the left right before you get to the fort entrance please be careful. The last couple of big strorms and careless drivers have all but eliminated most of the asphalt on this access road. I have pulled out six vehicles already this year of people trying to park as close to the beach as possible to avoid walking. My suggestion is to park in the hard pack sand just off of Fort Morgan Rd unless you have a 4x4 or have actual experience with driving in sand, in which case you can venture closer to the beach entrance to park your vehicle. There is no room to turn around in a low clearance vehicle once you get down there and park if someone comes in and parks behind you- dunes on one side and up to a 12" vertical step from the sand where you park and the remnants of asphalt rubble of years gone by. I NEVER mind helping a fellow fisherman out of a tight spot but some of these folks have used zero common sense and I just have to shake my head.

    this here is my favorite part of this forum, detailed info on what to do in certain situations, love it man
    I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.
