Cape San Blas & Port St. Joe Area..Need Your Help Please

[ktschris]

Beckster...when are you planning to go? I'm leaving Saturday morning for my first trip to "The Cape" so I will report in and let you know.

I'm so excited! Although I will miss SoWal, and the opportunity to meet up with alot of people on this board, it's kind of funn to explore a new place. And from what I can tell from a map (I'm very challenged in this area btw) SoWal doesn't seem all that far.

So here is an open invitation to all my buddies on the board to come on down and visit us!

Cil, would love to meet you and compare Colorado stories, pm me if you want. I will post a report when we get back!

Keep your eyes open for a solitude lovin' SKUNKAPE!

Will you be there? I'll wear my SoWal gear proudly...and remember, The Otter flies at midnight! :clap_1:

Seriously, you won't be able to miss us...we have 3 houses and a condo. We will look like the Griswalds (sp?) BUT, we always pack what we take!

No, not me, the 'real' critters-it sounds prehistoric from the description!

I can vouch for the skeeters. Camping there means you are in your tent at sundown. The coons are as big as a Volkswagon and scavenge day and night. The Alligators also are much larger and meaner on the cape and surrounding areas. I have also seen a black bear up close that was bigger than my 4runner. The wild hogs will hunt you down and remove your privates with their tusks. Beware the wolf packs that like to shred and eat children.

Gee Kurt, this place must be very special.....kind of like Sowal in October??? ;-)

Yes, please post. As I said, I would LOVE to spend some real time there....someday. Can't wait to hear all about your trip.

ktschris - we check in on June 24 for 1 week. I was able to access a ton of pics from our rentals website and it looks awesome! Remember the original Flipper movie? It reminds me of that. We're going to miss staying in Seaside/Seacrest this year, but I have a feeling we won't regret our decision to venture out a bit. We may even take a day trip to Seaside if we need a fix. We were excited to learn that there's horsebackriding on the Cape and that you can make small campfires for weenie roasts on the beach as well. I hope you saw aquaticbiology's post above for some really good area info. The only thing I am really worried about are bug bites that would be more than a nuisance, so we're gonna be packing lots of bug spray.
Please do post a trip report when you get home and leave some shells for me! Have a great trip.

Only a slight exaggeration. Not recommended for comfort lovers.

skeeters don't scare me...I've been to minnsota in the summer!
We don't leave until the 25th! Wear your SoWal gear, maybe we'll run into you

Don't forget the vinegar for the bugs! I used some last night when I went to pick black berries. Worked like a charm, not one bug bite!
