I will be there.
To answer Leigh, the old link photos for the parking were 20 yrs old. I changed the photos to the current condition as of 2023. Only the relevant photos have been updated. I removed all the obsolete maps which haven't worked for years. I might update them to Google, maybe.
(That little re-code effort only took over an hour of fussing with outdated code generated with an obsolete word processor. Updating the whole site would be a complete re-code. Ouch!)

Yes.  Per the description: "It is the gravel parking area just before the gray condominiums."

The original launch site was fine until they built a stone wall narrowing beach access and put No Parking signs on the road  Undecided  Oh well, the only constant is change  Rolleyes
