I'm PISSED!

[Lochloosa]

This was my playground growing up.

I learned how to fish off-shore from my Grandfather, a Charter Boat Captain.

I learned to drive at the age of 10 on the beaches of Fort Pickens State Park. (yes, you could drive on the beaches back then)

I learned to play :evilgrin: at Gulf Shores, Panama City Beach, Navarra Beach, Pensacola Beach etc.

This area of FL, GA, AL and LA have some of the most beautiful, mysterious and productive seashore in the world.

I am losing part of my soul.

[Lochloosa]

[Lochloosa]

5. Navarra is beautiful. Was this before Opal? She wiped out the 40-50' dunes

that used to hide the nude sunbathers. :evilgrin:

I always misspell "Navarra".

[seabeyond]

8. ha... i went off your spelling. we went the week before a huge storm.

my inlaws said if we had visited a week later we would not have married. 16 yrs of me being good to their son and their grandkids and they still tell that story, lol lol

we were married june of of of of .... hm.... 94 i believe.

we went to destin a couple years later. i like navarra better. there was a fun shack/restaurant at the beginning of the stretch of hotels and condos we just loved.

[Lochloosa]

14. On the right as you get to the island? The one with the Ti ki motif?

I know the place well.

[seabeyond]

[fl_dem]

Destin is too touristy for me, I live in between Destin and Navarre. Been here 21 years and thinking about what our immediate and long term future will be/look like saddens me greatly!!

[seabeyond]

18. thats it.... lol. gosh we had fun. and 16, 17 yrs younger too, lol.

hope things work better than what it looks like. a lovely place to live

9. It's Navarre & Navarre Beach. I spent 15 years in P'cola and completeley agree....

... one could go to Dauphin Island not too far west (about 30-40 mi.) where oil rigs were visible from the beach and step on tar balls regularly. The beaches there were just as white and the water comparable, but there were tarballs and drilling mud on Dauphin Isle that were NOT on present from Gulf Shores eastward.

[Sancho]

4. We have fought this drilling as hard as we can for years!

I hate this mess!

[Lochloosa]

6. I keep trying to make people see the big picture.

Funny, it's just how I described it to them. The complete destruction of their way of life. I am sad.

[fl_dem]

7. I live in Ft Walton Beach

and the beach beckons me daily, I recharge and replenish on the beautiful white sands.........I am livid too! What is scary is how little press this is getting locally...

[tsuki]

11. Santa Rosa Beach, and I'm crying. nt

[malaise]

10. You should be

:grouphug:

[Froward69]

12. Lochloosa, we are Kindred Spirits

I first went to Pensacola when I was 12.
I have returned five times since...

The most recent I ate (to over fill) Mud Bugs and ran Naked with my GF on a tiny little beach undoubtedly about to be ruined in the next few days.

this is (another) hole in my heart about that magical place.

[Lochloosa]

15. Tell me where there are more beautiful beaches?

That sound of sugar sand squeeking under your feet.

Fuck!

[Froward69]

21. Being LandLocked

ALL beaches are Beautiful to me... thinking about it, that sand is of a finer grit than others...

What really pisses me off is the crazed conservatives are trying to spread the rumor that the rig was sabotaged... YES it is true they think "Librurls" blew it up to end Of shore drilling... "and stupid enough to create a disaster of this magnitude."

FUCK!!! will their lies ever stop?

This Bullshit propaganda needs to be exposed.

[madokie]

13. I'm pissed too

even though I've done none of those things. I would like to know that my grand kids could sometime in the future but by the time anyone can it will be in the great great great great great grandkids lives if we're lucky.
The almighty dollar is going to kill us just as dead as if the world was suddenly dark.

[lonestarnot]

17. My heart is sickened.

My fingers barely work.

[Xenotime]

20. It's stunning that we have allowed big oil to do this...
