Rocks in the roadbed will make driving slow and keep out big RVs and low cars until a new layer of sand or class 2 is applied again.

Great photo tour David! Did you pass by Cowpatty's and was it open? Did you stop in for a cold one? Was that funky car with a manmade driver still
along side the road on the way South?
Nice trip!

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

No Bob, didn't stop... it seemed to be open... The new location near Okie's Landing/ Miramar was not.
The Scout (funky car) was gone, or I didn't see it.

David and Hook-----
----great photos and report, David. I remember Okie's landing when it was still in operation------that was a longggggg time ago.
Hook------Yes, it sure does look like you would have to "time" your launch and retrival. I normally anchor my tin-boat off shore with two anchors and
a double line leading ashore (so I can pulley it into shore, and back out), but this would foul that up. I do not like my boat settleing down on rocks
and chaffing against them.
I wonder if the newer campo south of Baluga has deeper water just off-shore?

The area of rocks is just below the hide tide line to the bottom of the sloping beach, then it is all sand bars. You could anchor over the sand bar.
