    Just Now

    I like how the white on the skis fits right in on the beach! New method to deliver beach chairs.

    Just Now

    Well, being as the cold has been in the news, it was only a matter of time before someone posted a pic of just how cold it got where they are and I think I have everyone beat this morning. This pic is about 6 miles from the Canadian border in MN just now.

    Just Now

    About 6 miles from the Canadian border of MN where I now live. Lake of The Woods. Saw another one two days ago while sitting with a couple buddies having a beer. One of the guys has three tiny pups who were wandering around in the woods when all of a sudden I could see four critters. The pups...

    Just Now

    I'm sure she was. I was wandering the property looking for morels with my pup and he likes to wander... He was maybe 50 feet away from me off to the East when I heard the fawn bleat. I knew what the sound was and looked in that direction. There was my pup almost nose to nose with the fawn, just...

    Kurt always takes way cool pics, but I have one I took last evening that's a bit different, but pretty cool too.

    Is Walton County buying land for public access ?

    Dang! Just lost one of my favorite fishin' spots if that turns into a public access. I lived 3 blocks up the hill from that spot. Not sure how I feel yet about having a public access right there, but not my call. That's only about two blocks from the Dune Allen access. What I'm glad I'm not is...

    I wonder what the water temp is like there right now. Seems a bit early. Glad they found her.

    Public vs Private Beach [threads merged]

    I appreciate the comparison, although I don't think they compare as a black and white line. The beachfront property owners have property that backs up to the Gulf of Mexico that has different jurisdictional definition than landlocked lines. The gulf waters and immediate beach belongs to the...

    Public vs Private Beach [threads merged]

    I'll step out on this limb John G. I'm coming to visit for 10 days starting next week. I'm bringing a couple who've never been to Walton County beaches. They vacation multiple times per year with us. I lived in the Santa Rosa Beach area for about 5 years. Our intent is to enjoy the white sand my...

    Where is it? (A SoWal Game)

    I was almost going to guess all those posts would be the ones in the water east of the 331 bridge, but was more than curious how it was photographed on dry sand.

    FYI - Sheriff's Policy on Beach Tresspassing

    No thanks. I'm not interested in stirring up anyone. I only hope to be able to quietly enjoy the beaches near where I stay as I've done in the past. I don't use the vendors, I don't dig holes and cart more off the beach than I showed up with. I have several friends with beachfront property that...

    FYI - Sheriff's Policy on Beach Tresspassing

    Thank you BeachArkie. This document will be in our beach bag when we're on the beach. Not so we can sit anywhere we want, but it should keep anyone from trying to intimidate us should we be in a proper area.

    Any truth to the rumor?

    How does one get to Topsail Hill Preserve State Park from the East except to walk the beach at Stallworth? Are private land owners blocking access to a state park? Isn't the mean high water somewhere up in the dry sand for the most part? If I'm walking the beach down near or at the surf line...

    Way cool! I didn't know that many fish were there. I didn't recognize all of them.

    Any truth to the rumor?

    Wish I could attend that meeting as well. The letter I already submitted to the commissioners parrots what you said. If they want my money going elsewhere, it can... and will. The beaches are a huge reason Sowal is what Sowal is to me.

    Any truth to the rumor?

    As an outsider who can only wish he was working his way toward "Local" status, I don't understand. Can you expound a bit John? I sense a lot of emotion and time involved with this subject. I'm kinda like Geo looking for someone to help dumb this down to how did we get here and where might this...

    Any truth to the rumor?

    A bus stop in the middle of that tiny neighborhood could be problematic. How was that location ever chosen? Seems like there are far better choices, better access, more space, and public bathrooms. Doesn't make sense.

    Tents On The Beach

    I'm a turtle walker and we have no standing orders to contact anyone regarding left overnight tents and chairs. We likely see the ones left for multiple days because we're there so much, but our focus remains keeping our eyes fixed on the sand looking for tracks. I personally work the West end...

    Crossing 30A a problem??

    I've literally hung out my window while sitting at a stop to try to stop traffic coming at me so someone standing in front of my vehicle can finish crossing the road. I think there are many who just don't understand that they are supposed to yield. When I'm walking, I typically make a good long...

    3 M window film / shutters

    Unless the film is anchored to the perimeter of the window, it does not offer hurricane protection. Think about it. If something breaks the glass, yes the film holds all the pieces of glass together, but what holds the glass from all falling out of the window frame itself? See this in local...

    Beach Chairs all the way up to the water

    Is there a simple method to know where the county may have authorized vendors to set up chairs on public beach space? I wonder what the approval would be based on. Perhaps a wedding? I'm near the West end of 30-A and for the most part, the vendors are doing a pretty good job. I really feel...

    C'mon folks. I believe these are great prices for some nice local stuff. Make me an offer if you didn't like the price. All I can say is too low, right? Whatever I can't sell will end up at a thrift store. Get it while you can. Have a great weekend. See you in the surf.
