  • No ATV's (4wheelers) on the beach. Golf carts and "utility vehicles" (gator, rhino, mule, etc) are allowed
  • No Glass on the beach (that includes in a vehicle). Put it in a cup, or drink from a can.
  • Speed limit is 15mph
  • No smoking in my house if you come inside.
  • Please do not litter - I will have a trash can & bags on the beach. Use them...especially for the jello shot cups.
  • For those coming from out of state - TX does not allow anyone in the passenger compartment of a vehicle to drink alcoholic beverages. That means driver, shotgun seat and rear seat occupants as well. I don't know how the law interprets that WRT the bed of a truck. So - if you want to go down the beach to "The Zoo" (the spring break party area) - please be aware of that rule!
  • The cops at "The Zoo" have absolutely no sense of humor. They will arrest you and put you on "the bus" to Galveston.
  • There have been a large number of dolphin strandings (26 and counting in the last 2 weeks) in Crystal Beach & Galveston. If you see a dead or dying dolphin (on the beach or a floating carcass) - please notify me so I can call the proper authorities.
  • Please do not drive through my yard, unless I tell you it's OK. Golf carts and pit bikes are fine - but if you have a car, park along the road like normal people :biggrin:
  • If you do go to "The Zoo" - bring a video camera - you never know what you might see! :bigeyes: Night vision on a video camera is a GOOD THING! :biggthumpup:

Wow, before I read through them all I was afraid there was going to be a "no man speedos" rule. Since I don't have time to by "trunks" by this weekend, it will be easier to stick with the bananna hammick.

Just some info since I was a member of the Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network...
*Call the local stranding network- In Texas call 1-800-9MAMMAL or your local police department
*DO NOT return the animal to the sea- They are there because they are sick or injured, and can no longer swim
*Keep people and pets away from the animal- Only 1 or 2 people are needed until help arrives. Do not leave the animal
*Relieve pressure on the fins- by digging holes under them. To relieve pressure on the lungs, you can dig a pit under the animal and fill it with water
*Keep the animal cool and wet- by splashing water on the skin. Avoid getting water in the blowhole
*Apply wet towels or T-shirts and provide a shade- Keep the blowhole free of obstruction and don't cover the dorsa fin, flippers or tail
*Apply Sunscreens or zinc oxide, NOT suntan oil- The dolphin's skin is very sensitive and can burn severely
*Apply ice packs- to the dorsal fin, pectoral flippers, or flukes, but do not let the ice contact the skin directly
*If the animal is in the surf, support it upright- Keep water out of the blowhole. If possible, move the animal into shallow water but keep it in the water
*Be careful around the powerful tail and jaws

Alan - most everything they've found has been dead I believe.

Ya'll don't worry about remembering the phone number. I know it. I knew that tursiops93 would know it. Just find one of us and we can handle it from there. :wink:

That is really sad about the dolphins, any idea what is going on?

And, any info for those of us with Rv's or large trailers who planned on parking one the beach. What are the beach conditions now after all the storms?

Dig a hole and cover him up with sand, but first have him sign a bill of sale for his sj and beach buggy!!

The sand should be hard packed with all rain - so hopefully nobody gets stuck.

you can also park that thing in the lot in front of my GF's old house (the yellow house) - it sits a bit higher than other lots - so it should be swampy.
