from the beach detour.
Stationed at the beach nearly every day, Jarvis Williams, an owner of Cape Point Exxon in Buxton, said Wednesday morning that he had by then towed 217 vehicles and trailered another 150.
Over the months, Williams said he has seen sightseers, beachcombers, college students on winter break, fishermen unknowingly surf-fishing in the path of traffic and even a motorcycle that needed rescuing.
Initially, vehicles were getting flat tires from hitting part of a shipwreck that was barely sticking out of the sand. After four flats, Williams found the spot and covered it with a crab pot. But the pot was gone in a few weeks, and Williams said he later figured out who removed it.
“He was a good Samaritan cleaning up the beach,” he said. A traffic cone soon replaced the missing crab pot.
Williams said that his busiest day was Sunday, when eight vehicles were pulled out of the sand, and eight others were loaded onto his trailer, equipped with wide tires, and carried around.
One day, he said, he was driving his truck with the trailer and came upon a stuck truck that was pulling a trailer. So he hooked up his rope and pulled it.
“We had a little train going,” he said.
