Bias against tent users?

What's the problem with using tents on the beach? When my family spent a week in Grayton 3 weeks ago we used a tent. I even asked the sheriffs deputy on duty if it was ok to leave it overnight and he told me as long as I had it tied down securely and took all my chairs and beach toys with me(to keep the tide from washing them down the beach) it would be fine to leave it overnight. One morning we came out to find that the tide had buried our tent anchors at least 18'' deeper into the sand. I simply dug the tent/anchors out and moved it back farther from the water.

We feel like we left the beach in better shape than we found it upon arrival. (We gathered up a lot of trash on our beach walks each day)

I plan on using my tent on future visits. I am sure some on this board sweat the petty things, such is human nature, but please LIGHTEN UP! The turtles need all of our help!


Hotty Toddy!

All in good fun! Landlocked, what's Tubby going to do this year? I am glad to see him do well at Auburn. Great Coach! Bama will get one some day.

69-

Our preseason rank is something like 16 or 18 so I think we're going to be quiet this year. Not much we can do with games like Ball State and Western Kentucky on our schedule. :bang:

Tubs is sitting pretty for the moment. Just got a raise and a contract extension even though Lowder and company tried to boot him during a 13-0 season. :idontno:

I was in Montgomery shortly after Tubberville left OLE MISS for the Plains. I was at a men's clothing store on Vaughn Rd near old Cloverdale. The owner noticed the OLE MISS tag on the front of my car and proceeded to ask me what I thought about Tubby going to Auburn. I said something to the effect that "when Godfather Lowder calls, you answer, or you swim with the fishes" The owner kinda cringed and motioned across the store (small store) and pointed out that Mr. Lowder and his son (maybe son in law) were shopping a couple of racks over. It was pretty funny. I have lived to tell the story so I guess I am safe.

Yep, those Yur-pean guys love to wear the squeezers. My wife and I found out on our honeymoon that the European women don't like to wear tops either. 😱

OUCH! I think you'll probably do better with a weedeater.

That's the great think about Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Lots of EU chicks there :wub: But there are usually lots of root suits there too :(

Root Suit.

That's great!

Yeah, the honeymoon was great with the scenery but there were some some there that didn't need to be showing their stuff.

One thing about EU peeps. They are very comfortable in their skin. :laughing1
