The beach is one of the best places to be to celebrate America's birthday. Problem is if you don't get there early, you might have to turn around if you attempt to go. 1985 was like so many other years...too many cars, not enough parking spaces. A shuttle bus was available but Loren Nancarrow said not a lot of people took advantage of it. Closing roads when the parking areas are full prevents gridlock and kept those who did manage to secure a spot, safe.
