Does anyone out there have any photos of 10-20 years or more ago to compare with today[Kurt, you get a pass on this if you want] in South Walton. I have only been visiting since '98 and would think someone would have some interesting shots. Heck, I would be happy to see before photos only if you have them Thanks!!!!!!!!!!1

Because greed did not rule over common sense.

A better question is "Why did anyone build on sand?" :bang: :bang: Duh!!! Think about it!!! We love our place back from the beach on Western Lake.

By the looks of the photo, wasn't "New Grayton" built on top of the sand dune area?

Exactly. And that is the problem because way back when so many dunes and wetlands and other areas that shouldn't were platted as private property when they should have been kept public.

Technically speaking, all of even Old Grayton is a big pile of sand. Just look under the grass.
