Look at the tire tracks on the other side of the barrier. Funny how the government can drive all over the beaches but the people that live there cannot though they have been doing it forever without any ill effects. The government has turned the outer banks into a ugly place with all the stakes signs, and ropes strung everywhere. It is a shame. Watch the video in my sig.
Thanks for the video link. I didn't realize things had turned so ugly. Makes me want to go there and throw bird eggs at those wackos.

Same old story the Feds pulled on Cape Cod National Seashore. They just bulldozed last 5 cottages near Nauset Inlet that were supposed to remain until descendant families were done with them. They used the Piping Plovers as an excuse to keep ORVs and fisherman off the beaches. Now the seal population is out of control thanks to their mismanagement and the Great Whites are lured inshore to feast.

WTF is going on in this country?? Our federal government, that WE created, was originally only given the powers to protect us from foreign invaders! What has happened?? We have become a police state!

Mark, your video is spot on...I really hope these petitions will have a positive affect.....I heard this quote somewhere else but it rings true....
The birds on Cape Hatteras are no longer an endangered species....their endangered species status has been re-assigned to the locals of Hatteras Island...

Well if there weren't any plovers then that raptor wouldnt be hanging around on the beach for that cool photo. But hey, if you hate birds of prey....
