After breakfast at the Home Port restaurant yesterday we decided to take a drive on the beach since the sun had finally come out. We were surprised by the number of people who were tent camping right on the beach as there must have been a hundred different tents set up along a three mile stretch of beach. There were even people sleeping out in the open in sleeping bags beside their cars. Of course my first thought was "where on earth do you go to the bathroom?" My second was wondering who was going to clean up all the fireworks debris on the beach; fireworks are allowed on the beach from June 28 through July 6 and it was quite obvious from the leftover rocket sticks and tubes that people had been taking full advantage of the privilege.
Returning to the campground we were amazed by the huge number of people tent camping not only on the beach but in the state park areas and in the small local campgrounds. Over the weekend entire tent cities appeared in lots that had been vacant on Thursday. I must admit, I much prefer our way of "roughing it".
