Fairly nice sunrise today (see sunrise panorama), should be packed on the beach- no, packed parking lot rather. Beach is not at all crowded, even with afternoon high tides, since there is so much sand right now! Talked to a construction engineer yesterday who confirmed there will be both a large bathhouse near the entrance as well as showers near the path to the beach. Should all be beautiful when it's finally done. Completion date still supposedly 12/1 +/- a few days. The engineer played it cagily and would not commit to that! People still have to park 3/4 of a mile away at Little Mud Creek. Some smart folks are dropping their stuff off at the auxiliary path entrance just north of the closed BCB main entrance, parking and riding bikes (or even scooters) back.

Thanks for sharing Chuck!
We're looking forward to a month there next winter.

Paving is in high gear it seems. Here is a pic of the entrance from A1A getting it's top coat. Woohoo! A big deal to us as we are here for the month and are tired of schlepping our gear a long way. Luckily we found a few parking spots not so far away but still have to hoof it down the rutted, muddy auxiliary entrance.

We were there on Friday and I took this pic of the parking lot with our bob-tailed coon heading over to the picnic table where the workers were having lunch. They said "another month". I did hear a rumor of a "soft opening" on Thanksgiving. Which makes sense since the official opening date for the new parking lot is 12/1 and the 26th is the last working day of the month. By "soft" perhaps they mean before the bathhouse is finished. Would be nice if they had porta-potties there like before. Most of the first asphalt coat looks to be done, one more to go.
