Beach tractors? Never seen a beach tractor before!
As a teenager I went clamming on the mud flats near Parsboro & Economy NS with some friends. Getting to the mud flats was a long, long walk, as the tides are very high. Another group showed up in a Jeep - they just drove right out there and we thought that was a really cool idea. One of the adults in our group muttered something about "idiots" and we thought he was just being an old man about it. Then the tide started coming in - at about a walking pace. We had to hustle to get that big tub of clams back to the beach. The Jeep didn't make it.
