Getting around: County advertises a first-come courtesy vehicle and advance after-hours arrangements. Confirm use-policy duration before relying on it; reserve a rental or round-trip driver when the complete outing exceeds that permission. Confirm the return pickup before leaving.
Return plan: Set a firm airport-return time with the driver or rental provider before leaving the ramp. Allow for road delays, vehicle return, fuel, weather and a full preflight; omit the optional stop if that margin shrinks.
Season: Tower and museum are seasonal; shoreline and pier access depend on weather and closures. Do not use this as a winter tower-tour promise.
