Here is my warning again to all of you who may not know about it. Leave your crap on the beach overnight, and it may be gone when you come back the next day. If I don't take it, the storms may. This morning while kayaking in the Gulf, I collected floating bottles, a play tug boat,a boogy board and two beach chairs, and can you believe the owners were screaming at me that the chairs belonged to them, though they wouldn't come in the water to get them because they didn't like the seaweed? It didn't make for too exciting of a kayak experience this morning. I made them promise to take their crap off the beach everyday in exchange for the chairs. There were tents in the water this morning, crumbled tent frames and tops on the beach, etc. It really sucks that some people do not have the courtesy to remove their crap daily.
Warning: You can take it off the beach, or I will. I am tired of it. Now get a move on before I decide to open a can of whoop-@ss on you rude, inconsiderate people.

Good for you Smiling JOe. It makes me ill to see folks doing that all of the time too. I especially have a problem with huge holes being dug and left alone.

Did you hear about the kid in California that was digging to China beside his mother at the beach and the hole caved in on him? He was without oxygen for like 5 minutes. The lifeguard and others were trying to dig but the hole kept caving in, finally they were able to stack up three deep and remove the sand that way. The boy is ok, he and his mother were on the today show this week. Very scary. Another great reason not to dig big monster holes on the beach.

KurtAdminSoWal2,473 postsJoined View profileMessageAdminLast week when I was on Grayton Beach there were 8 holes at least 6 feet wide and several feet deep up and down the beach and by the lake. This was in the evening so they weren't going to get filled before the next day, if then, which I doubt. One hole was 5 feet deep and 12 feet wide. :shock:
What is wrong with this?
I wonder if we shuld open a rental shop with bikes, kayaks and Kubotas (delivery/pickup at the beach of your choice)? After all, what kid wouldn't want to get behind the stick of a kid-sized tractor?

You are so nice. I would have used them as a frisbee, aimed at the head, and told them to catch. :bang:

"I wasn't lost, I just didn't know where I was for a few weeks. What I had lost (at least for a while) was my appetite for the life I had left: city surroundings, old friends, familiar comforts. It had occurred to me that comfort was only a disguise for what will always change." -- Gretel Ehrlich - The Solace of Open Spaces

So sorry the idiots ruined your morning kayak. It is inconsiderate and ignorant to leave your things on the beach. GET A CLUE PEOPLE!!!!!
Oh, and digging large holes on the beach is very dangerous. I knew of at least one childhood friend to die this way. Tunnels are a bad idea as well. common sense is a hard thing to come by these days, no?

It was hard to find a place to park the truck bc of all the belongings left. I did think about picking up some new chairs...

katie bluekt looin perpetual motion1,068 postsJoined View profileMessagekt looThis morning in Seacrest there were about 15- 20 pop up tents (some without tops, all with crap under them) within a block of our access on either side. Never seen so many at once. Considered making a sign for our access path. Went bike riding with the Mers instead.

I'm hoping maybe their story and her word of caution impacted someone who's never thought about it.
SJ, you skeery.

For some odd reason, folks who vacation in Sowal (among other places) seem to think they have some divine right to trash whatever they want because they are spending money in the area. They seem to think no further than their own little world of enjoyment.
Like I've said a jillion times, no one has any manners anymore.
The county/TDC needs to do a better job of educating and enforcing. If there is no law on the books about crap being left overnight on the beach, there needs to be. And it needs to be enforced.

Remember when I told you there was a business in this. Lets get with Walton County and see if we can make a nightly swoop. We pick it all up every night and bring to Caring and sharing. Caring and Sharing begins to sell beach stuff to tourist and they make money and we get a nice big tax break! I got the truck and I bet I could get authorized to do it..... :cool:
