What a spectacular weekend in SoWal. The water is still very cold, only the kids are enjoying it. The water has been very muddy for over a week or so from all the storms and wave action. Surf has been up and high winds nearly every day for the last few days after the fronts moved through last week. Every coastal dune lake with an outflow to the Gulf is open from the heavy rains.

A lot of Spring breakers here, especially from Georgia. Quite a few Redfish being caught off the beach.

Gorgeous shots, Kurt! I love one taken from underneath the Seaside beach walkover tower. The colors are amazing.

Thanks! I figure that tower is a monument to Robert Davis. Or, maybe "symbol" would be a more proper term. Hmmmm. :idontno:

Thanks - Charlie Hilton is a concrete man. Rumor has it that he is building a spaceship for Michael Jackson to return to the mother planet. :lol:

There have been rumors that it was being built for Michael Jordan. I guess it could be for anyone, including Charlie Hilton.

Who here thinks the value of Charlie's home is in the land itself?

6 lots = $12 million

construction = $8 million

furnishings = $2 million

Just guesses.

Yeah that can only be a wild guess. You never know about people.

Another thought. I wonder how much the rent would be. $30,000/week in the Summer? :shock:

How about $30,000 per day, and rent it out for banquet facilities? I wonder if he will have a ballroom.

Heck, he could probably charge $50per person for guided tours. He could also decorate for special holiday themes and upcharge. However, he would need to pick up some additional lots for parking. I guess that wouldn't work, eh?

Provided they ever actually finish the beast. It's been under construction since we moved down here, and that was 1998.
