OBPA sues over NPS ORV rules

I love acronyms.

Anyhow, the National Park Service is clamping down on the tradition of driving on the beaches in Hatteras, a tradition that started because there were no roads there.

There's a road there now but the tradition continues.

Property owners are outraged about the plan.

Visitors have mixed feelings. Some only come to the Outer Banks because they can use their four-wheel drive vehicles to get to a perfect fishing spot.

Others go there to get away from folks in 4WD vehicles.

What say you?
