I am gonna try to reserve my campsite at Assateague this week, for that weekend. A few notes on what goes on there since I was there this past weekend.

To drive on the beach, the following must be done....

$70 pass which lasts till the same day next year/you will have to put a sticker on your driver side bumper (they let me put it on the windshield since the VX bumpers are plastic)

a shovel (I have a military utility shovel that folds up)

4 boards (36" 2x4's or plywood in case you get stuck)

Tow strap (you'll never need it cause the VX WON'T get stuck)

tire pressure gauge (drop the pressure to 15lbs for the sand. they have pumps when you leave)

There are a few rules for the beach riding but when and if you sign up, you will get a paper that explains them all.

Basically, I think that a cool little party on the beach for a night during the meet would be killer. We are allowed a campfire drinking, and canopy sitting tents, just no sleeping on the beach. And the best part is, they never close. We were there till 2am, and nobody ever even bothered to check on us. The beach is about 15 miles south of Ocean City if anyone is staying up there. Mucho fun!
