Another great time!...Not including my ticket for speeding on the beach after we went our separate ways. The sad thing was that I didn't even realize I was doing it. So I deserved the $50 fine.

So everyone knows the speed limit on the beach is 15mph.

Ty, I just wasn't paying attention to my speed. I was in the deeper sand next to the dunes and I was just driving south (not close to any of the beach goers) probably at about 25-30mph. I'll pay attention better next time too. This is my first speeding ticket/fine since 2008. Just the way it goes.

Thanks for leading another great trip!

It's been great hanging with you and Matt these past two weekends!

Tickets are revenue there. I would say one person a season got a ticket when I use to go.

I got stopped. He tried to say I was close to beach goers. I was no where near anyone. Needless to say I got out of it.


Great pics! I'm jealous

I did think it was interesting that all of the potential violations warrant the same fine. Makes more sense now. I'll still watch my speed down there next time. The officer was very nice about it.
Here are the list of potential violations (mine is checked):

Coast Guard Station 166 "Wash Woods"

Built in an architectural style referred to as Chatham style, Wash Woods was constructed according to plans drawn in 1914 by architect Victor Mendleheff. The original main building consisted of eight rooms and two bathrooms. A separate galley was situated just to its west, and a pair of cisterns was built on the northwest corner of the station. The cisterns were used to gather rainwater from the roof and served as the guardsmen’s water supply. A small lookout tower was built on the oceanside of the station.

During its years of active duty, Wash Woods Station housed many guardsmen who performed countless brave rescues. With German U-boats thick off the coast during World War II, Coast Guard stations along the Virginia and North Carolina shores prepared for conflict. At this time, Wash Woods was home to about 30 guardsmen. The lookout tower was constantly utilized and armed patrolmen strode the beach searching for signs of the enemy.

After the war, the need for personnel decreased and crews were reduced. Wash Woods reverted back to standard pre-war-sized crew until 1949. Records indicate that the station remained active from thereafter with only a single caretaker until officially decommissioned in late 1954 or early 1955.
