PLEASE... Don't Walk Between Gulf Homes

[Rita]

Along for the trip was a very rambunctous 5 year old boy. We spent lots of time before we left talking to him about what a dune was, not walking on the dunes, don't pick the sea oats, etc. We wanted to make sure he knew and understood not to climb on them - a very natural tendancy for this kid.

We were very successful and he was well behaved walking to and from the house at Grayton Beach (very western edge). No dune climbing. However, every day we were there, we had to explain why it was important he not climb the dunes when "that lady with the camera (his words)" was taking pictures of those "people who are grown ups and should know better (his words)" on the dunes. So sad.

Maybe you should have asked your 5 year old to clue them in - coming from him, they may have taken more notice. :idea: "What does this little kid know that I don't? "

Unfortunately, these folks in the first two photos would probably try to re-educate the five-year-old. Let me show you how we do it.

Aside from the sand dunes, weren't they concerned about a HOUSE falling on them?? Look at the person in the lawn chair on the drooping deck. I hope that is a occupied residence and not a home being rented out in that condition...

That porch doesn't currently shake much on that end where he is sitting. However, if he slides down to the SW end, he may be in trouble. That corner moves a little bit more.

Wake up DTinTX are you there?
