Items on the beach overnight

The beach looks so peaceful right now. No tents, no chairs, just beautiful!!!

...just how it is supposed to look, right?

SJ...I was not surprised at the reply I received...especially knowing now that maybe the right hand and the left hand are not completely working together. I still applaud the efforts being made and hope they get it in sync. I am really digging caroling's idea of "citizen's stickers"....just think how y'all (I can't do it in the summer) could stick it to those litterers!!!

That might have something to do with the 100F degree temps we've had lately. Today's heat index is 110F degrees, and it feels every bit like it.

From what i hear the water temps are in the 90's? That is amazing!! That wouldnt cool anyone off IMO. Time to just stay inside and have a cold drink. Heat indexes are about the same for today also. Everyone please check on elderly and pets today. its just too hot for anyone to not have adequate A/C. A friend of mine emailed me and told me that she was in grocery store yesterday and over the speaker system, the store manager was asking who owned a Toyota 4 Runner. That they had left their pet inside the car. Now that would have ticked me to no end. I am pretty sure i would have went straight out and busted the window and got the animal out. Went to jail no doubt, but saved a pet. LOL!! You just cant fix stupid sometime huh?

Lake temps are around 90F degrees, but the Gulf, near the shores of SoWal isn't quiet there.

Yesterday's heat sucked, no doubt about it. My wife and I were lucky enough to be doing some field work about 200 yards from Morrison springs. The water was a nice 75 Degs. Let's just say we had a nice lunch swim to cool things down.

... t the Gulf, near the shores of SoWal isn't quite there.

I just sampled Eastern lake north in a canoe. We saw an otter swimming playfully about until a motorboating fisherman appeared or it saw us. I walked down to the outlet. Tent cities to east and to west, thick, all over the beach!!! The Gulf water felt delightfully cool. I'm surprised the heat didn't bother me today. Didn't even think about it. There is a nice breeze.

Cool, an Otter! Never seen one of those - saw a 8' minimum snake back in there and that put the kibosh on my explorations!

Check the "pygmy rattlesnake" thread for specs on copperheads!

8'? Sounds like the Son of the Serpent of Oyster Lake...

We thought it was a water moccasin. For some reason we didn't stick around too long to closely examine it after realizing that "floating log/piling" was really a snake swimming!
