[quote=ButchG][quote=Rider_55]Why on earth would the police get involved? Trespassing? Damaging the protected berm? Seems like a good way to make sure the tourism industry, no mater how small, will spend there dollars elsewhere.[/quote] Now your catching on. They want their tourists in special tourist areas. . . and thats it. The launch spot on DeSoto Ave (near the airport) has been designated a wildlife protected area....no motor vehicles of any kind, no beach use of any kind. Unless of course you are a resident and then that area is where you walk your dogs. The berms are 8-12 high and run the legth of the main drag fromthe split to where the road stops on the west end. The berms are on the gulf side of the road, one is NEXT to the road, and in some spots a second berm between the road berm and the beach. A great place for aquatic activities. . . if it weren't for the Dauphin Island City Council. I will be petitioning the DICC again this year (4th year running) trying to get them to open up the West End Park to non-motorized recreational vehicles. The jet-ski franchise is explicitely held by the West End Park Leasor, and he will NOT let anyone or anything upset his monopoly on water sports down there. IMHO, since you have a rental at the end of the road you won't have any berm or police issues. Just be sure to pull your boat high up . . . don't want the tides to carry it off . . . or local teens using it for their own "recreational" purposes. :-)[/quote]
