MINT_MARQ Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 12/20/2007 06:35 am Does anyone have any advice on where to find a reasonable priced sand scoop? I have found plastic ones near $11 but with shipping it ends up being $25. I have a local hobby store that sells them for $17. Second question does sand freeze solid like regular soil? The sofa has been thoroughly searched and I am having withdrawals... Report this Post to the Staff

Topher Pillar of the Community Canada 965 Posts	Posted 12/20/2007 09:10 am I read about someone using a kitty litter scoop, but I forget where I saw that. They should be much easier to find. Report this Post to the Staff

You should be fine farther up the shore from the water in freezing weather. If there is wave action over the sand, that will also keep it from freezing. Report this Post to the Staff
