South of Bob Hall, starting around marker 252, the County has utilized a bunch of your tax dollars, and erected a veritable forest of 6 X 6 X 12 posts, every 1/10th of a mile down to the boundary to the seashore.



Atop each, is this warning sign:



Effectively announcing that the "Bowl is Closed" !!!!!


And now for the Update. Going back to the original post about the find I could not identify :

I found a piece of this syntactic foam in it's natural habitat. Covered in fiberglass and consisting of a large block, buried in the sand.

IMO this is a good thing. Wonder who foot the bill Nueces or Kleberg?

Nah. 'They' are pretty much an urban legend these days. [Although, if you really want to see old, naked flesh, walk south at the PINS north sticks for about a mile or two. There is where the 'nature crowd' convenes in summer].

This is an attempt to 'manage' the land that the two counties agreed upon, although in my opinion, it's a bit of overkill. Really, every 1/10th of a mile?!?!! Confused Do that for a mile each side of the Bowl, but plant a forest of posts for 6 miles...... Oh well, I guess that's why we pay taxes.

How about the synthetic post used on the beach at PINS? Those got to be high dollar.

Trying to understand....Each sign says "no driving beyond this point"?

Hopefully they start enforcing the law on the "dune wheelers", as someone avid into offroading, and having a large group that I helped create, these guys give those of us who do wheel in an legal manner a bad name.
