Land here no way it's illegal!!!

I agree with the idea of taking one of those hotels out for the sake of humanity. There was a roach on the celieg of the hotel that was as big as my hand.

The beach has pretty much disappeared in Galveston. I just find the law a little strange. I really think there should have been some type of emergency clause, other wise someone that has a real emergncy might get charged (we have all heard of the robber getting injuried then sueing his victem).

The beach airport in Washington is Copalis Beach State Airport (S16). It's a state run airport that's really just a stretch of beach with a windsock on it, 4500 ft x 150 ft. It's just north of Ocean Shores and is open (usually) from June through September. Not much to do there, but the clam digging is great.

One more note on Copalis....

It's not actually on Copalis Beach. Don't make my mistake....it costs lots and lots of money if you dig on the wrong beach

If you've never been there, good luck finding it. It looks like any other beach (minus the girls in bikinis). Watch out for the rednecks drinking on a weekend evening
