Hey finally signed up after lurking a while. I'm in Pensacola but my Family is from Point Washington. We still have a place there. Went down a lot as a kid, back then it was only Seagrove & Grayton beaches.

Well Kurt, the "Old Days" OK.
My Dad, he's 92, remembers when they opened Destin pass. I remember as a kid coming thru Destin and there were only 2-3 Motels on the beach. No such thing as a Condo back then. I remember riding in my Aunts '59-60 model Ford station wagon beach buggy on Grayton beach. No 4wheel drive just big tires with low air pressure.
I remember when the Eden State Park was just a rundown place over grown with weeds. And after it was renovated when the movie was filmed there, "Frogs" or something like that, a low budget thriller.
It wasn't the same after the House burnt down and of course we all grew up and got busy with our lives and our own Families.

I bought that movie for $5 because it was local and I love frogs! LOL! I hooted, howled and heckled it like Mystery Science Theater 3000. 🙂
