What's the problem with using tents on the beach? When my family spent a week in Grayton 3 weeks ago we used a tent. I even asked the sheriffs deputy on duty if it was ok to leave it overnight and he told me as long as I had it tied down securely and took all my chairs and beach toys with me(to keep the tide from washing them down the beach) it would be fine to leave it overnight. One morning we came out to find that the tide had buried our tent anchors at least 18'' deeper into the sand. I simply dug the tent/anchors out and moved it back farther from the water.
We feel like we left the beach in better shape than we found it upon arrival. (We gathered up a lot of trash on our beach walks each day)
I plan on using my tent on future visits. I am sure some on this board sweat the petty things, such is human nature, but please LIGHTEN UP! The turtles need all of our help!
Hotty Toddy!

All in good fun! Landlocked, what's Tubby going to do this year? I am glad to see him do well at Auburn. Great Coach! Bama will get one some day.

Our preseason rank is something like 16 or 18 so I think we're going to be quiet this year. Not much we can do with games like Ball State and Western Kentucky on our schedule.
Tubs is sitting pretty for the moment. Just got a raise and a contract extension even though Lowder and company tried to boot him during a 13-0 season.

I was in Montgomery shortly after Tubberville left OLE MISS for the Plains. I was at a men's clothing store on Vaughn Rd near old Cloverdale. The owner noticed the OLE MISS tag on the front of my car and proceeded to ask me what I thought about Tubby going to Auburn. I said something to the effect that "when Godfather Lowder calls, you answer, or you swim with the fishes" The owner kinda cringed and motioned across the store (small store) and pointed out that Mr. Lowder and his son (maybe son in law) were shopping a couple of racks over. It was pretty funny. I have lived to tell the story so I guess I am safe.
got any pics?
Landlocked.... Do you think it makes my butt look big

Yep, those Yur-pean guys love to wear the squeezers. My wife and I found out on our honeymoon that the European women don't like to wear tops either.

OUCH! I think you'll probably do better with a weedeater.

That's the great think about Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Lots of EU chicks there
But there are usually lots of root suits there too

Root Suit.
That's great!
Yeah, the honeymoon was great with the scenery but there were some some there that didn't need to be showing their stuff.

Check out the guy in the red (It's really Landlocked But I didn't type that outloud
) He's wearing one :shock:

So root suit = speedo?
Beach Fanatic
root suit = men's panties.

I can't imagine wearing one of those in public. It would feel like those 'naked in public' nightmares we've all had. Kinda vulnerable, you know?
Like they say, never fight naked, unless you're in prison.

Ole Mrs is, I think, something like 3-20 vs. Alabama since Bryant's death. Not much you can say bro. Ole Mrs is a second-tier program and always will be. Alabama will, at some point, be back. Ole Mrs can't "be back" because they were never there in the first place.

On the tent issue...are those who are against the use of tents ... in favor of driving on the beach? As an off season visitor, I do not see that many tents. Maybe someone can post a picture of how dense they have gotten during the summer season. What I do see in the off season are the drivers on the beach...and I don't understand how you all like having vehicles on the beach. Seems like polution to me.

You know ... there are so many places I could go with this ... I'm not even going to touch it.

When I was there in mid June I counted 7 or 8 on Grayton Beach (counting mine). The day we left one remained and it was owned by a local who lives there full time and owned the house next to ours. Far from being congested and far from taking all the "prime" locations. Anywhere in SoWal is prime if you ask me.

My Daddy is an OLE MISS grad, same as his father before him. Did you go to Bama or are you like 99% of bama fans who never set foot in a classroom at UAT
