Not everyone thinks this is a bad thing.

Then please don't feel compelled to write! ;-)

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!!)

You say that now, but what are you going to do when after a few years of Park closure, St Joe talks the State into selling off the Park as surplus land, and St Joe develops that property? I think we need to be thinking about the bigger picture.

Is it o.k. if I voice my thoughts to our representatives on selling the park off to the highest bidder?

Go for it, expect a form letter.

I meant to tell you the other day that I loved that comment you made that was something like "Please watch your tone" or something like that, when that Sowal'r put all the !!!!!'s after what he was saying. I can't remember where we were, but I got a laugh.

You must know Hnooe was kidding around. I hope I'm not mischarecterizing when I say Hnooe's down to earth.

That's the condo/marina/trailer park thread.

He is, just a little hyper active sometimes.

... The county applied for similar permits for some of the other lakes, which are called "no notice" permits, because no notice is required. Once the designated level is reached, the county can go ahead and open the lake with no notice. I am not sure of the status of those permit applications at this time - they were, last I heard, dragging on slowly, and I don't recall exactly which lakes are involved. It is a lengthy process to do all the required surveying and determine the appropriate level for opening.
From time to time, the county opens one or another lake on an emergency permit basis. This emergency permit needs to come from the DEP. The county requests permission from the DEP, with or without advice from the CDLAB. ...

Today I found out that CBA does extensive monitoring of the inoutfall before and after such an emergency opening. They take samples of the adjacent gulf, inoutfall, and lake before, just after, and later. I forget all the tests and data taken but it is extensive. I don't know when they started this procedure. But the data should be quite interesting.
