    Potential Land Use Changes are Far Reaching

    Fascinating... I've only read the thread so far and take Grayton Girl's word for the language which disturbs me. . My question is what constitutes ANY intersection? Scooterbug took the mental drive down those roads, as they are. Imagine more intersections. I see a huge loophole here that...

    Bob Graham Grayton Beach State Park ?

    No doubt he was a good dude, but I think it's more complicated than that. I'll agree that there are plenty of politicians that deserve accolades for doing the right thing. Unfortunately in politics you can't please everyone. I don't know of his case specifically but his "Good Dudeness" is an...

    What rights to the beach does a visitor have? (or how NOT to get arrested)

    What can a security guard do? call the cops? As I see it as long as I'm close to the water within the mean high water mark I should be OK. then what do the cops enforce? Are they laid out in the "trespass on the beach" thread I mentioned? (refering to the retreat) Right?

    What rights to the beach does a visitor have? (or how NOT to get arrested)

    We'll be there next week and after the fiasco that happened last year seeing someone arrested (and posting it here; see - led away in handcuffs) I'm wondering what the mood is these days. There has obviously been lots of talk about the injustice vs property rights - but where does a visitor...

    Multilevel marketing MLM discussion

    Sure ... why are there so many people sucked into them? They have a slick mesage with little emphasis on the FACTS; because the facts do not support the system. FACT: 98% of people who make the investment in MLM lose money. They won't tell you that in their pitch.

    How did you find SoWal.com????

    I found SoWal.com a couple of years back 05? 06? doing some searches for rentals. I lurked for quite a while and I think my first or second post was starting "Led away in handcuffs" thread. I don't check the board out too often but always seem to stay far too long..... The photos are what always...

    Rosemary Thymes Beach Access Article

    Wow, It looks like this thing is spreading. I'm not surprised having been away a few months. The Beach is a scarce resource a subset of a finite resource, an idea our system is founded on; private property ownership. Money will buy it all evetually unless there is strong leadership form both the...

    Led away in Handcuffs

    I've been reading intently and a picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks BMBV:D . It's real interesting to note that clearly 1/3 of the beach at Blue Mountain is in front of the retreat. Just compare this with the pictures of no one on the beach posted in that area posted earlier. Every one...

    As the individual who first posted... Thank you for your account and if you had a clearer view if the proceeding I stand corrected. The man's arms were behind him consistent with the posture of being in cuffs while being escorted by multiple officials when he saw seen over the walkover. My...

    Back to the Inn at Blue Mountain Redfish Circle and the Retreat..... Before I left I spoke with he 3-till-11 guy at the inn about the arrest on the 4th. Now, knowing that he's just the watchman/maintenance/afternoon guy and may not be a credible source, he mentioned that there were some...

    J.Bean See my post under "traffic" in this forum, This last week being the 4th, I think it was heavier than usual but it's no unusual to 331 to back up when your leaving. Just for your info It's hotter today in St Louis than it was all last week in SoWal, and the water was pristine. Have a...

    You beat me to the post! If you left at 10:50 I was right with you. we didn't get up 331 to I10 for well over an hour. Then heading east there was a wreck near pensacola -- another 45 min --- then accross the causway over Moblie Bay we lost another hour due to traffic volume. All I could...

    Hey J.bean Have a good time. We're here right now and leaving for STL in the am :cry: We plan on going through Memphis and Missisippi We've been the Memphis way and the Nashville way and prefer the Memphis way because of the abundance of 4 lane roads -- 331 from Montgomery can be a nightmare...

    Unfortunately I did not get any pics but my wife and daughter saw it. One of the men did take pictures. I did see the sheriff as well as his staff and I heard what he or the official that was with him said. I spoke briefly with the county official on patrol who commented that that the entire...

    This morning as my wife and I were returing form a shoreline walk we saw county officials asking a couple of men to move their "set up" from infront of The Retreat at Blue Mountain Beach. About an hour later my wife saw him being led from the beach in handcuffs for tresspassing. One of the men...

    Shark Sighting today

    SoWal is becoming more upscale.. it's no longer the "redneck riviera" the sharks must be going upscale too. They're probably holding out for a well muddled mojito not just a can of PBR. (I'm really just setting someone up for a bloody mary joke - not that I'd tell it myself) :floor:

    Shark Sighting today

    A 3 to 4 ft shark was sighted off Blue Mountain Beach at 9:30 this morning. I was really suprised how close he came in. There were a few people fishing which raises the question what do you do with a shark if you catch it? Let him go? or invite him to be the main guest a dinner? RP
