Introduce Yourself

Okay.

My favorite holiday is Independence Day!
I lived in Poquito Bayou (Okaloosa County) until ?81 - Santa Rosa Beach since.
[I don?t remember learning to swim but do remember the first time I met somebody who couldn?t. ]
As hobbies I like to paddle (kayak), cycle (leisurely), swim, hike, travel, and read.
I truly love this area - the woods, the creeks, the bay, the beach, the Gulf, the weather, and the people.

I wish that everyone would come here so I could share this magical place with them and I wish nobody would come here and change it into something else.
It amazes me that someone could go through life and not know how to swim...how does that happen...and it is not something I ever ask...I never ask "Do you know how to swim?"

Hi Everyone,

For purposes of my appearances here I'll go with the name Bdub.
I have been a lurker for almost a year. I am a relatively new owner along the 30A corridor.

Though we live in the mid-Atlantic region, we make it down to the RR five or six times a year. I can sometimes be seen paddling my yellow kayaak on Camp Creek Lake (so far, I have not see any gators.)

I am :

...happy about the new Bay County Airport plans
...doubtful about claims that the ivory-billed woodpecker has been seen there.
...not all that upset about the big blue signs
...very concerned about the beach access issues
...a fan of Mike's restaurant in PC
...a lover of fresh gulf shrimp

I enjoy checking in here for the latest gossip and have a Sowal sticker on my car.

All the best,

Bdub

Hi all!
I am 21. And have been in love with SoWal since 2005. I have visited every year since, at least twice. I am getting married in Seacrest in April of 2009. And one day hopefully, I can live in SoWal.

Hey Everybody.
I am barely more than a lurker... but have been lurking for severral years. I have recently started posting a little.
I live in the Rocket City, Huntsville Alabama.
Recently widowed.
55 Yrs young.
I have a wonderful daughter named Tonya...who is a shcool counselor.
Two grandkids... Cade an Cole,
And ofcourse the ole man Wes, good guy.
I have been visiting the coast since I was 6 yrs old. Which means I have seen many changes.. some good... some not so good.
But the fact remains... any day on the coast is better than a day three hundred plus miles away.
Going to the board and seeing the latest, has gotten to be more important the first cup of coffee in the morning.
I would love to meet everybody... not as much as living in SoWal... but I am sure it is understood.
