Not a bad idea. Maybe we could get Alex Sink to attach it to the back of her plane and she could divert to Pensacola once a week.

All kidding aside-
perhaps some funds could be used to fly a banner on the beach. I couldn't imagine it being cost prohibited if businesses can afford to advertise cheap drinks and beach gear using this medium...
How's about-
"Illegal 2 leave tents/stuff on public beaches overnight".
Since most tourists couldn't tell you what's private and what's not they would likely assume it's all public.
Thoughts???

Who said I was kidding? I am very serious. That message is printed in wilderness areas and pristine parks all over the country...http://travel-babel.blogspot.com/2007/04/leave-only-footprints-rangers-plead.html
no reason we could not have some businesses pitch in...after all, they benefit from all the tourism bed tax dollars...why not have a "public-private" partnership--the Chamber is gung-ho about the new airport, why not gung-ho about clean beaches? I think some, perhaps many, business people who care about our beaches might be willing to contribute to something like that--they could put their business logo on the banner too--things like this are done all over the place; it just takes someone to be willing to try something different.

Why not? I think the WCTA is a good organization...they are ferreting out things that need some light shown on them.
but, I never said I was expecting taxpayer money to be used to pay for it.!

I think they have a few bored board members, which is good for a watchdog group.

Blue Lupine near the Retreat today
I still haven't figured out how to get these to drop in full size. Kurt, help. Click on the photo to see it larger. I will drop in a half dozen other photos taken from White Cliffs to Ed Walline this morning. The photo above is Blue Lupine just East of the Retreat. This is the worst stretch of beach I have ever seen and it is like this nearly any day of the week. I can't help but believe someone is actively telling the guests here that they can leave their stuff out all night. This photo was taken just after 6AM this morning. Nice blue tent huh. :angry:
