Any thoughts of coming north in the fall / spring and hit WildWood and then keep on driving to RI and then Nahant, MA?

We always come to Wildwood. Almost made it to Newport Festival this weekend, but the Germans got in the way :smilegrin:. Usually we make that trip and extend it onto the Cape.

Not sure about pushing past Wildwood in the Fall. Come see us there!

Monday is ENE at 15ish (10 am) perfect for a surf and turf session (buggy and board).........................youll be able to experience the Sullys sandbar..................do you want me to bring the door?

chris - 8-7-2011 at 07:21 PM

Yes, please. Bring your door.

Sullys looks like a great place on Google Earth. Can't wait!

If you come up to the Cape, post here. My family has a cottage on the Outer Cape and if the timing is right I'd be glad to meet you at some Cape event.
