I do appreciate the feedback guys and gals. I went a different route, but not for any safety concern (which I didn't have much of anyhow, but theft annoys the hell out of me). It's a trip for my dad, and I wanted to give him a taste of the cliffs and the beach as he's only ever been to Mobay and stayed at the mega AI's. I ended up sticking with my comfort zone on the west end, as I'm going to go with him his first time.
