The decision on whether or not to close several beaches along the Outer Banks is scheduled for tomorrow. The latest information I have heard told me something that I wasn't aware of and I don't know if many people are aware of this. The beaches that are in question will not only be closed to vehicles but to foot traffic as well. This means that you wouldn't even be able to walk to these places or go by boat!
The beaches in jeopardy of being closed are Bodie Island Split, Cape Point, South Beach, Hatteras Split, North Ocracoke and South Ocracoke. Closure of these areas would be devastating to the economy of the Outer Banks.
Senators and Congressmen are now asking for phone calls as well as faxes and e-mails. Please call the numbers below and speak your piece. Help save beach access on the Outer Banks!! Call now while there is still time!! Let them know that you oppose these beach closures!!

Thanks and have a great day!!

I have called each office twice, once today and once when this first came into light. I will keep my fingers crossed all day tomorrow. I certainly feel there can be a compromise made... I don't think its all or nothing.
Thanks for keeping us posted
