    It is true that it’s not a 60 ft “logging road”, so that’s somewhat to the good, well, at least not totally evil.

    Have they marked any spots for construction on the new @# $% intrusion road? (the Doelle –> Dennis side)

    Have they extended the road they were building this summer on the Cedar Point side? When Sandy, Suzy and Jan and I walked it in early July, there was at least one cabin site marked out.
    The road was being built even as we walked back from our walk on the beach, so we narrowly missed seeing the driver up close. (They must have been getting another load of gravel when we first went out.)

    Do I still have my DARNOC shirt buried in a drawer?

    AAARGH!
