We were really, really BAD, weren't we???? Dune hopping and bonfires on the dunes...no permits. No life jackets on any of our boats, but we did use the ski belt when we skiied in Western Lake. If we'd had a dog he would have run loose. But then those were the days when if you saw two people on the beach it was considered a crowd. Steele Mama, you didn't mention underage drinking?! I didn't do that, but I'm sure it happened at Grayton Beach.....How 'bout sliding down the huge dunes by the State Park....when there were dunes?!
Yeah, the Green Knight was the Big Chicken of the beach.
Those were the days.....
