On this note of permits, last Sunday, I sat on the wall overlooking the eastern beach entrance at Grayton, for maybe 20 minutes. The beach had plenty of vehicles on it, including a Sheriff's Deputy. While there, I noticed only four autos entering the beach, none of which had a permit, and all were out of state license plates. One even got stuck. Two of those vehicles drove right beside the Sheriff's Deputy's truck, but the Deputy seemed more concerned with watching the Dolphin which were in fairly close. The Deputy never stopped any of those vehicles. As I said before, enforce the existing rules before saying they don't work. Yes, there is a problem with too many vehicles on the beach on many days between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and something needs to be done to limit the number of permits issued, but let's start with the easy stuff, like enforcing the existing laws.
