have been living here [and loving it] almost 5 years now, and gotta say, although our beaches are sublimely beautiful, these very unattractive tire tracks which run up and down the beach really destroy the pure aesthetic natural beauty of being at the beach - as far as i know, it's only the police & beaches of sowal vehicles that have authority to drive on the beaches, so here's a suggestion:
police & beaches of sowal vehicles must have some kind on mesh/screen/rake apparatus which attaches to the rear bumper somehow, where basically this screen drags across the fresh tires tracks covering them up
[similar to inbetween innings at a baseball game] leaving only nicely turned sand in it's wake

pretty pretty pretty

thoughts ?

You need to concentrate on finding your way to SOWAL first before you plow into the sand with the Dargs:rolling:

:roll: ...the skunky directions were the first thing that went in the car. If I do this right, how much time will I save????

I did OK today. New tires and rain helped. Then I drove in the ruts made by the Graytona Lodge truckster- that really helped!

So many boats out today- I think every fishing charter launched off Grayton today and it was really fun watching them come in.

I heard that the county commissioners are toying with the idea of dramatically cutting back on the number of beach driving permits they will be allowing in the future. Anybody have some insight into this? It might be something to consider...today I counted roughly 50 vehicles parked on the beach. And it is only March 11!

I really doubt it. The whole ordinance that allows driving on the beach is unconstitutional on its face because it discriminates against citizens by requiring property ownership. But since the Republicans do not seem to have much of a problem with Constitutional issues any longer, and it is a great source of income in light of property tax rollbacks that will surely come into effect, I would imagine that all you may see is an additional increase in the fee, with maybe a discount if you are a homesteaded property owner in Walton County. Since they are already ignoring the Constitution, why not protect the voters and forget about the rest.
