and carry a portable toilet with you, and use it in the buggy.
Refuse then to be carried off the beach and disposed of in a proper
manner.
- To avoid overcrowding one area and elbowing other fisherman
out of there chosen spots. This is particularly important when
surf fisherman without buggies are concentrated.

won't be forced to detour.
- To fill in holes after getting stuck, and to avoid indiscriminately
criss-crossing tracks.
- To observe the rules of common courtesy on the beach.

track: the driver who has the dunes on the right will be required
to turn out of the track to the right. This rule to be tempered
by common sense in difficult circumstances.
- It is requested that all members carry extra-territorial insurance
on their vehicle in Massachusetts.
