Have a raffle at a set amount to cover
expenses. The winner gets to spend an
all-expense paid weekend anywhere on the Outer
Banks. The rest can be used for NC 12.
It's a thought...

i thought the idea was to let the new inlets remain in whatever shape nature wanted. is that not the whole idea behind the 'short bridge' alternative? there is no 'permanent' fix.
