I used to practically live out there when I could. I haven't been down there in a long time. I heard that some jerks have been shooting the wild horses. And that it has really been built up. My Mom decided to live there full time and did back in 1999-2002, but then sold it when the houses started cropping up everywhere.

But yeah, the shacks and trailers on stilts way back there- FREAKY.

Still, it is a cool place.

The horses are so tame, it sucks that anyone would shoot them. And now I know what you are referring to with the tides, last year I only drove in the ruts and it takes 2 or 3 times longer to get anywhere. This year I was only out once at high tide.
