Well at least they cleaned up all the kelp.

But seriously, I think that inside the triangle is where they are going to put the new fish cleaning station.

If it looks stinky it should smell that way too. Does someone have a old table we can dump in the center? Should complete the look.

I would have to say that you have not launch at The Shores much. LOL

Starting Memorial Day Weekend - through Labor Day it will be a nightmare.
-I hope you have a set of wheels for your kayak.

Not bad during an early morning launch, but when you return it is usually jam packed with beach zombies.
Thats when you need the wheels because the sand is tore up and soft, and there are usually lots of vehicles on the beach.

While possibly just rumor, heard the "triangle" was put there at the request of BWE. Objective? So that those scoring a decent fish at LJ know where to stand so that the rest of us webcam-viewing landlubbers can drool on our keyboards ....

Thanks. Good to know. I was planning on upgrading my yak cart with some fat wheels anyways.

Well that should be fun to watch sink into the sand during the first high tide.

The triangle thing forces you to drive on the sand with your wheels turning Right - Not straight, so I can see people getting stuck when the sand becomes soft from the tires pushing.

Also there is a bit of a blind spot when you are going toward your right because the storm drain housing can conceal children up to 4 ft. tall.

Keep your eyes open when rounding this obstruction. Its too close to the storm drain housing.

Maybe the triangle is to slow some people down. I was watching the camera the other day and a vehicle went by so fast it was only in the field of view for a fraction of a second.

The lifeguards are on it right now about speeding. Make sure you stop completely before entering the beach and go at a snail's pace. I was read the riot act for not stopping at the stop sign. :doh:
