Found this post on TheRealOuterBanks.com. Thought it had some excellent points by a local home owner in Salvo. Often if you are not affected by something, you know little about it. I assure you the home and business owners on Hatteras, definitely feel the effect of what is happening with beach driving.

This is a great look at what is happening on the National Seashore. This is just the intro to the post, definitely read the whole thing. He makes some great points. Follow OBRevealed on Twitter or visit his website.

I first heard whispers of trouble at the Cape Hatteras National Seashore a few years back. This was further brought to my attention when a Hatteras resident put this story on Outer Banks Revealed. I didn’t know much about it, except for what I read, and I found it very confounding. Not having seen the exact impact of Judge Terrence W. Boyle’s decree, I imagined it was little more then an extension of what I had seen in the past. You see, the development where our house in Salvo is located abuts the Cape Hatteras National Seashore for the 15 miles it runs from Salvo to Avon. In the past, I had seen areas fenced off to protect nesting birds and turtles that had come ashore to lay their eggs. I imagined the latest “settlement” to be little more than an extension of this. I have struggled mightily about whether or not to write anything, as I have tried to keep Outer Banks Revealed apolitical and more family oriented, but the details of this case have haunted me since our most recent trip to the Outer Banks. If you stay in the northern part of the Outer Banks, you are probably totally unaware of the issue. If, however, you stay in Hatteras or Ocracoke, you’ve been affected.
