Has SOBB gotten too big?


It is amazing to think back a few years ago how SOBB was small intimate gathering of the few local buggiers and now it is a colosus. The picture below shows how crowded things have become. Who knew there were so many buggiers in the PNW.

No, honestly those were all kiters and most of them were camped in Phil's backyard. No kites out yet, we were all just arriving at the beach after breakfast.

Boy was I shocked when I saw the miles and miles of cars parked along the beach. I had no idea that clamming was such a big deal to so many people. There had to literally be thousands of folks out there and they seem to catch their limit day after day ? You would expect them to get wiped out with such stress on the population.

I hope somebody reminded those folks to throw in a bit of cash for Phil and Buggy Camp ! ;)
