Today marks 28 years of matrimony for me and the wife. We had kind of sort of planned on eating breakfast or lunch over at the local diner. I camped last night so when I got in this morning, we decided on lunch. As lunchtime approached, she called the diner to see what the special was. It was liver and beef-tips. She doesn't do liver, nor does she like to smell it, so we decided to go to a seafood place about 20 miles from home. {my boss had called as we were leaving, asking me to come in early if I could. We decided we still had enough time, so we booked it on} It's toward Panama City, and we got to see lots of hurricane damage we hadn't seen before. All in all it was a nice drive. Until we go to the place and found out they are closed on Monday. If I had not had to go in early to work, we would have run on into Panama, but. . .

. . . . . .we drive back toward home another way, and get to-go from a convenience store deli. I had fried chicken, okra and some sort of fried broccoli and bacon thing. She had chicken tenders, fries, Jalapeno poppers and an egg roll. Not too bad. Not grouper, but not too bad.

Congrats on that! Sucks your spot was closed. Been with my wife half that time. Maybe we'll make it that far lol. made Destin/ pcb/ navarre our go to spot for several years. Love the panhandle beaches. As good if not better than most Caribbean destinations. Best sand by far, no contest.

Did sharky's tiki hut survive, in pcb? I know it's been through several hurricanes. That was our go to beach bar. Awesome mahi tacos and always a friendly bar staff. Just outside of all the riff raff.

We're planning a short trip to Destin in the spring and wanted to ask you what would be a good natural spring to visit? Figured you might know something Google doesn't. Last time we went we hiked through a mosquito infested swamp visiting the ponce de leon spring. It was nice when we got there but damn them skeeters.

St Andrews probably one of the coolest spots I've hiked. Snorkeling the jetis and whatnot. Except the time i was pissing right next to a fucking gator slide and he was just feet from me, eyeing me just out of the water. Dumbass tourist lol

Sorry stoned rambling. I'm assuming you've been everywhere considering your love for the parks and trails lol. Totally envy where you live:eyesmoke:

I can't help with the spring question but if you're hungry try " Moma June's Ole Time buffet " good food.

I've caught thousands of Spanish Macs from my yak in Saint Andrews bay and a bunch of sharks too.

Will do. Its those home style places that are the real gems.

I've gigged a few flounder yonder in the bay and fished plenty mackerel off the jetties. Only seen one hammerhead shark dude pulled ini from the beach. Fishing doesn't get much better than down there, ime.

We've even contemplated a move down there whenb the little one gets older. She wants to go further south where she has some friends but the beaches just aren't even close to what they are from Mexico beach, West. And those apalachicola oysters..... so good... Fuhgeddaboudit

I had a good friend who lived Fort Morgan at mile marker 3 , we gigged a shit load of flounder in the bay/sound.
Also once in '98 my son and I caught a 8' hammerhead off the beach on Thomas Dr. and as we carried it up to our room at like 3am the elevator must have stopped on every floor with drunks freaking out each and every time, hahaha no one actually got on the elevator with us.

Let me know if you want to shark fishing sometimes I got tons of gear.

Fuck yes i do. It was quite the sight to see dude pulling one in. Be a cool experience. Heading there in the spring or abouts! Thanks for the invite

I followed a girl down to Pensacola when her family ( military) moved to eglin afb. Spent a few months working in perdido key, just over the border from fort Morgan, loading boats heading for an oil platform. Summer of 2000. Good times.

You in Carolinas?

Way too many of these stories start with, "a Florida man. . . . . ."

We have way more crazies than anywhere else.

Thanks. I haven't been down there since the storm, but PCB wasn't hit too bad. It was down town and to the east that took the brunt of it. The last great local beach bar is doing fine. https://sharkysbeach.com/

I guess the best known spring fed waterway for tubing and what not in the sandhills is Econfina Creek. The Florida Trail goes through there too. But here are some other options.

If you ever get the chance, stay at the primitive site on Saint Andrews. Best beach camping. Low cost.

Na, Heart of Dixie here. My son is SC, and we have family in Pensacola who own a plumbing company and Perdido is his main squeeze. I often fish from the beach at Fort Pickens , because they close the gate to the Fort area and a short walk up the beach gets you away from most folks. Plus it's really close to the family property.
Also family has some pretty good connections and might be able to help swing a deal on a condo or beach house. I be glad to ask for ya when you are ready.

There is also a Mamma Junes in Valdosta Georgia if anyone is up that way. We always ate there when we went up to see the wife's uncle, the bank robber, in the old folks home.

This is a job I have been dragging my feet on. But to take down and roll up the fence and retrieve my bed cover, it had to be done. Really loved this tree. In a couple three hundred years it would have been something special. It only took a few minutes to cut it up. {I'll drag it to the road, then cut it up the rest of the way}
