    Yeah then after april 1st it goes up a bit. Also 2wd guys might wanna check freeman park website but I do not believe they allow 2wd. But march isnt busy out there so not a lot of traffic you can get through the "on ramp" thencut towards the right you can get on the wet hard pack and drive by the water. Ive seen a subaru out there. If I can make it down and someone gets stuck then I can drive to monkey junction and grab the jeep. Winch retard strength chevy 350 and 42's we pull people out pretty easy. I will be gone 22nd -24th any other time I will try to make. Especially bext tuesday or weds ha

    I wouldn't recommend 2WD on the north end either. Early in the season it might be possible but be prepared to be pulled out. I live a couple miles north so I'm out there on a regular basis and I always air down just to make things easier. I might be interested depending on the date.

    That was my plan, I am putting a tarp under mine. I imagine longer tent stakes would be necessary.

    Can't wait to see pics of this trip! My GF and I plan on coming here sometime this summer! It'll be the first time I've taken the truck onto a beach! Looking forward to it!

    Are there other beaches like this ya'll recommend? I'd like to stay semi - secluded if possible, but I understand a beach in the summertime is the place to be!

    Have fun!
