Folks,
If you're driving all the way down to the Harris Neck Wildlife Refuge boat ramp on the Barbour River, its closed until further notice. I've looked at it several times and the storm didn't damage anything other than mud and flotsam on the ramp. The ramp historically has some design issues with the stop logs at the bottom and a hole at the end. It's had those issues for many years before Irma hit, so it appears they are using the storm to close it and get enough attention to secure funding to upgrade the ramp. That could be indefinitely unless we can get some pressure put on them to reopen. It impacts the crabbing industry and just about everyone on the North end of the county that ramps in. Unfortunately, it's managed by the Feds and not the State. Any ideas??
