What is this?

[Kurt]

I don't think any of the old timers ever dreamed of the development we have now. The undrained areas were owned by individuals who didn't give consent.

Some of them dreamed it and some of them lived it.

Sowal isn't THAT bad! I don't think the chaos, confusion, or dissention level is that high at all. Some growing pains due to rapid development. Some of the politics and issues I dealt with back home were much worse.

Saw one of these "canal front" lots on MLS w/ realtors boasting that you could boat to the bay and the blue bar! My personal on site assessment was that I couldn't boat so much as pull a JC and practically walk across the less than pristine water!

I agree.

Count me in the Happy to be Here group.

I suppose it depends on what you compare it with. Maybe where you were, but not where I was. I had certain family members now deceased that thoroughly enjoyed getting a fight going, then sitting back watching with glee! I don't care to live that kind of life. I also know of a 10 acre lot in the middle of nowhere that does have it own boat launch and access to the bay, some distance from it.

I was thinking you might know more as I was typing but didn't expect an answer so soon. Can you tell us more? I'm also interested to know why the southern portion in that view was untouched.

I didn't know that mosqitos could breed in saltwater.

Actually, the water in the canals is more fresh than salt. It drains from the land. In fact, the bay at one time had more fresh water than salt, but when the canal was opened by a hurricane at East Pass in Destin, then a considerable amount more salt water entered into the bay.

OK, so how about this? It is north of the ICW by Steelfield.
