While Roller Blading this weekend past the 3rd Ave launch area (during
the afternoon low tide),
I counted golf balls in the mud. It's amazing how may balls are
getting over the fence and
landing in the bay. Especially when you consider, our summer winds
aren't there to carry the
balls over the fence. It's also amazing how spread out the balls are...
they litter the water all
the way down to the blue tanks. Oh, as for the count... I gave up
after 100.
The second entrance noted below, I believe, is actually near the
beginning of the old parking
area. Now that the parallel parking is expanded down to the new
driveway which parallels
the driving range, the opening seems to be in an awkward location if
you want direct access
from the lot to the sandy beach area. They also installed a
maintenance gate in the fence
in the area across from where the new access road joins the parking lot.
So, if you need direct
access to the beach from the parking lot, bring your bolt cutters and
open the way {grin}.

After a recent posting on the improvements of the 3rd Ave. parking lot,
I
decided to check it out myself. The lot looks great. Parking spots are
marked
and the equipment drop-off zone nearest the launch ramp (that is what I
imagine
they meant when they painted the circle there) should come in handy if
we
respect it. However, they removed the opening in the chain-link fence
that
was
close to the entrance (useful to those launching from the beach and
rigging
near
the fence). A second opening now is located half-way down the parking
lot.
The new addition stretching along the side of the driving range does not
appear
to be a parking area. It seems to me to be a driveway for golfers to
reach
the
driving range. Does anyone know if this piece of pavement is meant to
increase
parking capacity for bay access or does it belong to the driving range?
Although it will be tempting to park there, I would not reccomend it on
account
of the numerous golf balls sitting on the new pavement and on the other
side of
the fence (toward 3rd Ave.). It appears that there are many more
"slicers"
than
long ball hitters in the golfing population. I counted 27 new balls on
the
ground, with three balls reaching the parking area we are accustomed to
using.
Keep that in mind when the crowds come back to 3rd.
