If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

I like the wrong way signs.  Can really give it hell and not worry to much about hitting some one.

Ferry is more expensive. Like double!!! The trip is damn near same amount of time too. The ferry is 4 hours if the boat has no problems. Its an old coal / steam powered boat. I hear it has problems often.

I would take it if I didnt pull a trailer. What Im currently in the market for is a older 2WD pickup that I can strip the bed off of and make a crude ramp system and platform for the buggy. Its only a 30mn. trip from here to the dock and then the other side is 20 min. to the dunes. Just that damn body of water in my way!

In the mean time Ill be driving around. Its about 7 hrs for me. Ill leave Thursday night and stay all weekend.

Doug you need a boat not a truck.  And one that burns gas, not one that was dredged from the bottom of the lake.  Coal, dont let any enviro's read this.
