Has anyone been down to Blue Mountain Beach and the Brickyard area? We are headed down and would like to know what to expect. I know the 331 bridge isn't open yet. I believe it will be by the time I get there. Thanks for any info.

Thanks everyone for the information. Camp Creek Kid, it seems you have seen Rosemary and further west. If you know, how is High Pointe? Can owners access that area?

We vacation in a duplex at the corner of Defuniak and Holtz(?) across from D&Ks. Hope the family that lives downstairs did alright. The water went around them during Ivan. They're suppose to move into a new home soon - hope that survived too.

Thank you very much for all your hurricane reports--we are in Marietta GA and would like a report on damage in the Western part of Walton--how are beaches in the Seascape area near the Whale's tale restaurant along beach 98? Is there power in that area?

Does anyone have reports of Okaloosa Island damage? We are staying (hopefully) at the El Matador early in August...Should we reevaluate and change plans?

How long did it take to rebuild walkovers after Ivan? I didn't pay attention because we were too busy drying out and fixing our house, which got socked because the contractors couldn't fix our roof leak before the storm hit.

Like others we are booked solid through August. Assuming we did better this time, what should we tell renters about likely beach access? Days, weeks, months? I'm sure those beached septic tanks won't help.

High Pointe walkover was completed when we were there for fall break which was the 2nd weekend in October. But you could get to the beach before then, just had to jump off

After Ivan, Rosemary Beach completed 'something' for beach access very quickly and also was neighborly enough to let High Pointe use it.

Here are some quotes from Monday's Atlanta newspaper concerning damage from Dennis--you can also go to www.ajc.com to read stories.
1. Power lines were still standing along Seagrove Beach, and the boarded Red Bar appeared untouched. Seaside Village appeared to have minimal damage.
2. The 30 foot high sand dunes at Seagrove and Seaside were badly eroded. The huge waves ate away 15 feet of the dune line.
3. Every walkover in the Seaside/Seagrove area had been cut at the dune line. Tourists who come to the area will have no way to get down to the beaches from the high dunes.
4. Waves up to 35 feet high, recorded by a buoy, crashed into Navarre Beach.
5. The Treasure Ship Restaurant on Thomas Dr. in Panama City was heavily damaged.
6. Overall, the storm did less damage than Ivan in the Seaside/Seagrove area.
