Welcome to my state, don't litter.

Is the panhandle really part of Florida? I mean, I know they drew the border that way, but...

The panhandle is mostly a suburb of Dothan.

Welll.... we claim em', but they look like Ga'.

Welcome to my state, don't litter
The panhandle is mostly a suburb of Dothan

It is ON , I had the call from my boss saying "are you SURE you want to go ?? We DO have things for YOU to do ,,,,,,, "
My responce " See you week after next , Bossman !!"

We Leave in the AM !!!!!!!

Oh and You just HAVE to go to the Mega Mall in Dothan when in Fla !!!!

Time to spin the big "Florida Vacation Wheel" and take bets on how zippyt's time off ends.

• Eaten by alligator.
• Red tide bloom ruins vacation.
• Eaten by shark.
• Tropical depression and endless rains.
• Eaten by serial killer.
• Surprise: unexpected major hurricane!
• Eaten by Skunk Ape.
• Jellyfish sting. Don't listen to the residents: The pee myth is something we tell all tourists for fun.
• Stops at and becomes entranced by the Enterprise Alabama Boll Weevil Monument.
• Takes a wrong turn on I-10, ends up in Jacksonville and spends the rest of his life pondering "what is that smell?"
• Follows billboards to Ron Jon's Surf Shop, wonders what the hell is so special about it.
• Falls in love with the area and never leaves. Finds an abandoned trailer and makes a living with a metal detector and crab traps.

Don't get much red tide up there in the handle.
Pee does work better than nothing, but it is best to keep a container of vinegar in your first aid kit instead. (a spritzer bottle is best)
Sharks don't eat... they just taste.

Sharks take big tastes, then.

You forgot one kitsune ...

MrsZippyT gets a visit from Aunt Flo and all of the chocolate melted from the ungodly heat of the Florida Summer.

Florida Croc
 

Last time I went down to the Everglades I took the below pic of an American Crocodile. South Florida is the only place where they still live.

How wide was that band of broken shells along the beach?
As far as the eye could see , and there was another one just inside the surf
I rembered Kits ( I think ) Hi Quality pic of some shells , and desided to get one of my own .
Here is a link to the set of pics ,http://www.flickr.com/photos/1126817...7594184599023/
I uploaded the full size pics , but grabed the Med size for us dial up folks.

A few pics I didn't get were of Carol and I floating in the pool by the sea shore under the moon , The pool was Suposed to close at 11 pm , about 12:30 I said " lets float untill Deputy Dog comes and runs us off !" , Dept Dog NEVER came .
I cant rember seeing Carol so HAPPY , just floating , drinking , busting out in spontanious laughter , and haveing the time of our lifes !!! :)

Or blasting along in the guides boat going from one fishing spot to another , every time he said " Hey , Lets go here and fish for these" , we cought the HELL out of those !!! Expencive , but WELL worth the money !!!

Or just chillin on the beach , enjoying being togather in a COOL place !!!

A Good vacation all in all !!!!

looks like you had a large time! i can't wait to go on another vacation!

OK then, let me rephrase that......how deep was the line of shells? :D

About 1-2 feet wide above the surf and about 1 foot in the surf line,
and on the Bay side ( tidal ) there was a line of what looked and felt like Oyster shells about 1-1 1/2 feet wide , no pic of that , sorry .

Lot of shells, I wonder how many died of "natural causes"?
Although in the wild, I guess being eaten by a predator is a "natural cause". :D
