Where are we launching from?

Trying to figure this out - I don't have a kayak (soon...) so I haven't gone through the motions to know.

At first I was thinking you drive and park with the kayak on the roof or ?? - take it down, grab your gear and take it the beach/water and launch. From reading the posts, it sounds as if the thing to do is drive your car/truck to the launch area (now under construction) take it off the roof, leave it there, then go park. Come back with your gear, set up, then launch. Not sure I'd want to leave my kayak there at the launch area unless someone I trusted was watching it. I see now the use of the wheels/cart -park, unload from the roof, load it up with gear, wheel it to the beach and launch.
