Beacon Rock Update - 08/28/05
=======================

Free Parking Area - Yet again, please do not park parallel to the road in the free parking area East of the main lot, park diagonally facing the SE - Saturday was a complete parking disaster with all the first arrivals parking parallel sending later arrivals spread down the road. If authorities continue seeing cars spread down the road beyond the pullout we will be in very real risk of seeing this free parking area closed. It is small so please park diagonally and please leave notes for anyone you see who isn't.

Flying Dutchman Rap Anchor - And another reminder that these are currently gone and we will finish replacing it asap; darkness and reason intervened in the middle of the operation. The original anchors are still up and to the right and remain serviceable until we can get back to it; either that or simply walk 60 feet to the right and use the main SE rap. If you have any questions about the status of anchors email Beacon.Rock@AvaSys.com

That's it for this update - park considerately, have fun, and play safe...

P.S. It would really help if everyone would printout the slips below and leave them on cars they find parallel parked in the free pullout...thanks.
