grapevine, tx. /On the road to SoWal
Picked up a sticker at the store in Grayton. Sunkist and I were taking the scenic route to Appalach from FWB--even though I'd been hanging out on 30-A for years before. (She has sworn she will never make this trek with me again). I think I had actually looked before trying to get hurricane info so I would know if we were actually gonna get to take our vacation in '05.

I found Sowal about 4 years ago while I was hunting for vacation rentals. Love that it keeps me attached to the area when I can't be down there enjoying it first hand.:clap:

Me too. I lurked for awhile but finally joined because of SmilingJOe. He would post ONE great photo and then had a "click here for more" link. I just had to see the rest. :D

Found the old board during Ivan, lurked for almost a year, could not believe all the great info and commisseration during Dennis ... never really left. This is the BEST place for info! But the people make it special. :love:

Found Graytonbeach.com looking for hurricane photos after Ivan. I couldn't believe how Smiling JOe would go out of his way to take photos of areas that people were asking about. Like Miss Kitty (a/k/a Sueshore), I lurked for a loooong time.

I knew about Kurt's "little" website for years but was too engrossed in my own life to pay it much mind. It was not until I visited SoWal for the first time in 15 years that I fell in love with the place, the people and the site. Tootsie introduced me to it and it has been a constant source of inspiration for me :love: It is a wonderful place to log on to and dream and share the dream with loved ones.

It has been a year now since I joined in on the SoWal funn and at my advanced age I don't remember how I found out about the site. I do remember the thread "Led Away In Handcuffs" really made me a daily or more than daily visitor to the website. It is a great site and I am glad I found it and recommend it to friends often.

great thread ibd. how interesting to read them all...

I find it impossible to believe this one though...

Me, too...and remember I LURKED for an entire year! :eek:


:rotfl:

wonder how many addicted lurkers there are? we could do a poll or start a lurker thread - are you a lurker? how long? why? so strange to think there is an entire silent sowal population out there.
