This Is WRONG. I think everybody needs to organize, mobilize and make sure this doesn't happen. So far, the evidence to close this park or any park anywhere... is Zero. I know stjoe and friends are powerful. But not THAT powerful. Pursuing the closure of this park would bring to light, nationally, any other issues StJoe might be involved in. This should receive media attention. On a national level.

And some good old citizen journalism. blogs blogs blogs.

Did you seriously use the term old and blog in relation to each other? :funn:

Not so fast. The last two spec homes I built butted up to the East and West borders of the Park respectively. Both new owners are thrilled that the Park is planned to close. It's not bad for everyone.

And some people made $$$ supplying concentration camps - doesn't mean it's right or for the general good. :roll:

I continue to be shocked that closing this park could actually happen. Who can we write? Can somebody who understands this better tell us who is making this decision and who can help?

I'm sure many of you have already expressed your feelings to powers that be on a county and state level ... please tell us non-locals who specifically might be in a position to listen and perhaps help.

Who was it that said "It's like the weather, everyone talks about it but nobody ever does anything"?

For those who want to do more than gripe, here's a good source of info on who to write, etc. http://www.waltonoutdoors.com/?p=2324

It would be a shame to see the park closed, in my opinion.

Not everyone thinks this is a bad thing.

Gardening1970, best thing to do is write to Governor Crist...get as many people as you can who feel as you do, to write to him. Let him know if you are a property owner, tourist, or both...numbers count in the Gov's office, so everyone who cares about this issue needs to write.

The address is in the link posted above.

Exactly what does "closing" Deer Lake State Park entail--removing the portapotty, and putting a chain on both the walkover and at the parking entrance ?? Big deal...

I'll figure out a way to still use it. (he-he).

"But officer, I did not know I was breaking the law,
it won't happen again, (or should I have said again this week!!)
:chill:
