did a little recon yesterday, late in the day, to find parking that would get me on a MTB to that northern extension end. parked at White Crest Beach (no charge after 4 pm, but otherwise, during the season, it's now $31.50 via a pay station in the lot across Ocean View Drive from the beach. modest bath house w/ sinks & flush toilets. no showers or changing area like Marconi Beach, but a welcome oasis on a hot day. there are still lot attendants there, but they don't take the money. also discovered a lovely series of single track trails in there
that old dirt road / jeep trail has some soft sand but most of it is firm & rideable for regular mountain bikes w/ 2.25" tires. generally downhill heading West. going back East I only had to walk up one short, soft, sandy hill. explored one of the single tracks. but just a taste cuz I was just gathering info at the end of the day. I had another bike & hike project further North, in a different town, that took up most of my day. it will be fun to find out where some of those trails lead. maybe next week? maybe in the Fall
