Too Far, you are too funny. Guess I haven't been around enough to meet all the new personalities. Are you here or in Tampa? I'm going down to Tarpon next week to spend the holidays with my family and I'm freezing my butt off (I wish) up here. What's the whether like in Tampa Bay? Do I need to bring light clothes? Will be working outside on my place there replacing a deck. Yuk!

Oh, goody, a thread tangent! But I have a feeling hi-n-dry won't mind. ;-)

Yep, I'm in Tampa. It's pretty nice right now -- well, foggy and a bit drizzly, but very nice temp-wise. Our local 5-day has a cold front coming in Monday, with mid-60s temps and sunny on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday they have the high up to 70, still sunny. :clap_1: :clap_1: I'd wear pants for sure but you can be flexible on the tops -- a couple of light long sleeves and maybe a sweater and some regular t-shirts.

P.S. BTW, we've "met" before -- I'm the one who emailed you about the Alexander several months back. We're neighbors, at least a couple of weeks out of the year. :D

It's drizzly here this morning too. I went out on the porch and thought I was in london with the red cobblestone streets and chilly rain. Thanks for the weather report. Glad to hear that it's still pretty warm down there. What part of Tampa are you in? Used to work there quite a bit.

I remember your email. I'm due west from you one block on Beach Bike. Don't klnow if you were at the HOA meeting but I'm the one that talked about the Seacrest website. We'll have to meet up when you're here. Gotta pack and warm wishes for the holiday if we don't talk. (little turkey icon goes here- no time to look for one :)

Sounds great Cork. Maybe we can get together when I make it up next, whenever that may be! I wish you a wonderful turkey day -- don't work too hard!

I'm in South Tampa, btw. It's great because I love old houses and neighborhoods and there are a ton of them around here. Grew up across the bridge in St. Pete.

Great, you can email or phone me (on the website) next time you're here. Hope not too long.

South Tampa is quite nice. Hyde Park and Davis Island area. Have a friend in Davis - beautiful homes. Grew up in Clearwater myself. Downtown St Pete is quite a change. Love it. OK, gotta get outta here.

Happy T-Day

The atttachment below is from the USGS Coastal Classification Map available at
http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1217/images/grayton/grayton_bch_ne_1500.jpg.

Note Scenic 30A running diagonally across the map. Seaside Village is on the left half of the aerial photo. The Seagrove Village Market and the intersection of Scenic 30A and CR395 are on the right side of the map.

The approximate location of the Large Gulfview Lot is on the far right hand side of the map marked with a yellow loop.

You can see from the color bands along the beach ( see attached color code key) that the coastal dunes are approximately 30 to 36 feet high in that area and that the dunes are continuous.

As do many locations along Scenic 30A, Seagrove Beach offers ?high ground? protection from storm surge.
