Ok, here is another old 50's postcard, and on back it reads, "Western Lake and Cottages At Grayton Beach, Florida. The ideal spot for a Family vacation. Swimming, boating, water skiing and loafing in the sun.

I can tell its taken while looking just over a dune, but in my mind I can not place where it was taken from.

I never saw that one either. We had 3 when I was growing up, Western Lake with docks, beach with dunes, and lonesome pine. I'll have to scan one when I find one.

Hurricanes were around long before that photo was taken.

I sure know I have drank my share of hurricanes :clap_1: and is probably what the photographer was doing when he snapped this picture. :rolling:

If that was in the 50's...CR-30-A didn't exist...so could've been on a dune back
in the 'woods' (remember those?) looking south, or so'westerly.
dunno...

That's true...I think the part about "cottages" is throwing me off about where it is. Part of Grayton Beach State Park, maybe? :idontno: That is where 30-A used to end and as far as I knew, that's where all roads stopped. I don't know when it became a State Park, as it has been one since at least the late 1960's.

It was like 1969 or 70 when they finished the bridge to Seagrove and C-30 opended up.
