Thanks for your perspective Seth. I absolutely agree that most all decisions this Superintendent made during his 5 year tenure were directives from NPS headquarters in Philly or DC. More and more evidence is mounting that the Legislation that created the Cape Cod National Seashore is not respected by the National Park Service. The Mission Statements from both of these wonderful concepts point out just how hard it is to merge two very different objectives. In my experience with Superintendent Carlstrom I found him unable to merge. He clearly thinks NPS policy is the only policy.

Once again, the Cape's most knowledgeable commentator hits the nail on the head. Not to be missed by anyone interested in local/CCNS politics.
