Hey, who's going to York Beach for the vault on Sept. 11?

I'm planning to be there if at all possible. I figure if you can't get a tailwind a beach vault where the heck can you get one?

This is the first I have heard about it. I'm in Stratford, CT, and must check out the mileage. What are the details?
