79 were at Blue Mountain Beach.
My Wife and I met Andy A and his lovely bride Betty at White Cliffs and stood with them for awhile before heading to Blue mountain.

Someone there was taking pictures.

There were about 350-400 people at Seaside. We came together at various times, and looked darn impressive. It was fun. :blush:

I was there and saw lots of friends and friendly faces. When it came time for everyone to line up and hold hands I was lucky enough to be surrounded by about 8 little boys - they were having a blast! looking up and down the beach I saw how long the line was in both directions - I was emotionally overwhelmed to think of how wonderful it is to live here. The weather was PERFECT - sunny, cool but without much wind so we were warm in the sun. The people definitely showed up to draw a line in the sand.

and to end a perfectly beautiful, peaceful protest on a gorgeous beach... a crowd enjoyed a New Orleans-style brass band playing in the streets, bringing a little bit of New Orleans mardi gras straight to SoWal... and these guys (several) were seriously good!!! Never thought I would see a true piece of mardi gras in the middle of Seaside.

A few snaps from Grayton. As SWGB said above, I think 150 was about right. We could see maybe 20 or so people down at Gulf Trace, too:clap:

Hey, and elected officials, I want you to know most of the people were locals who vote! Don't do anything stupid to the one and only Emerald Coast!
