For several years now (ever since she…read morebecame the replacement for our original letter carrier), I never know if my outgoing mail will be picked up. I place my outgoing mail in my mailbox with the red flag up by 7:30 AM. It appears that if she does not have mail to deliver to my address, she does not bother to drive down my short street to pick up my outgoing mail. I am elderly, do not drive due to vision loss & have no way to get to the main Post Office on Hwy, 67 (Tallahassee St. ) On several occasions, I have received the mail of others. I will keep searching in order to find to whom I should file an official complaint, Today, for example, I spotted her delivery car on the other side of Tillie Miller Park. Why in the world she could not have gone less than a block to pick up my mail is a wonder. My mail consisted of bill payments that must go out. That woman makes good money for a job performance which is pitiful.

And there is engineering to help the lighthouse survive the severe weather that happens often on the coastline. I arrived during hours when the lighthouse shop was closed but there's still some stuff to see outside. It's a nice park setting with parking, some picnic shelters and even a playground. The Crooked River Light was built in 1895 and replaced three separate lighthouses on Dog Island that were destroyed by storms. The lighthouse was painted in its current color scheme in 1901, the lower half white and the upper half red with a black lantern room. This lighthouse is currently active with an acrylic glass at the top that is a replica of the original Fresnel lens. I have recently taken to collecting lighthouses along my travels, keeping them in a Yelp collection at https://www.yelp.com/collection/GLWJhPZloUBCLUFSYgLw4g.

I will say it was very windy and cool in march for spring break it was advertised that the pool was heated but it was not turned on and the pool was like ice. If you need the wheelchair or handicap assistance find out how to use it before going if not you have about 13 steps not bad but that just depends on if you can do steps or not. I asked for my mom the 1st day and got a txt back from vacsa we will get back to you - that was tuesday morning it is now saturday night and i have yet to get a msg back about it. If the pool had been heated like it said i would have pushed and called but it was cold so she just stayed in the condo and hung out on the balcony with the beautiful gulf view front and center. The city of mexico beach are working on beach nourishment (replenishing sand) and dune restoration so to get to the beach can be a little hard as the dune is huge. You have to climb up and over and to come back from the beach it's easier if you go down just a little bit and come up at an angle but as we head home the workers are planting vegetation to help the dunes so you will not be able to do that for long. The view of mexico beach was beautiful! I love that it is a mom and pop kind of town with not a crazy about of college spring breakers. It was crazy it's in the central time zone and 4 minutes down the road you are in eastern. So keep that in mind when you are looking for a place to eat. The forgotten coast brewery was a fun little place to try different local beers. Mago marley's was very yummy we just did appetizers and had a bucket ( it truly is huge) it is like 5 drinks in 1 for $40. It would be great to share. If you head over to port st. Joe you should hit up krazyfish food was very good and a cute little ice cream shop down the street within walking distance. As you drive around go dow 30a and hit up hunt's on st.Joe bay staff was friendly, food was yummy but the best part was eating on the water. We stayed at the Vue condo complex and rented via Vacasa. We originally for the condo on VRBO and tried to rent from them but had to pay an extra 121$ for fees from VRBO. So look at Vacasa and compare before you book it could possibly save a little money.

Please choose a different date or place - uhm this is a historic marker, it's information on a stick. Seriously, sometimes something so significant happens in an area or specific location that it becomes historically documented and there are societies that ensures these sites are recognized and never forgotten - I for one love these markers and find them irresistible, I must read them when I find them. I wish all these plaques were displaying fun stuff, but history hasn't always been fun we can't change history although it seems some want to minimize it or cover it up, wouldn't it be so amazing if all newly erected marker were educating us on all things good. I'm okay with accurately depicting factually correct information we should all want to learn from the past so we never forget. I salute those that have bravely served our country and have defended our freedom with their lives, it's unfortunate we have lost so many in struggles and conflicts that's probably could have been resolved by other means, but the facts are the facts and the decisions made here has changed the lives of all of us. Allied military leaders knew that casualties on D-Day could be staggeringly high. Historians are still calculating the death toll to this day it's seems to be an impossible task, estimates range between 4,000 - 12,000 US soldiers I think one is too many and all deserve to be honored...

Beyond that is the Gulf of Mexico. The slowly sweeping beach is shallow for a good bit so there is excellent wading and that is likely why The marker reads, "In late 1943, Carrabelle Beach and Dog Island, while they were a part of Camp Gordon Johnston, were used by the U.S. Army 4th Infantry Division to train for the Normandy Invasion on D-Day, June 6th, 1944. The Amphibious Training Center had been officially closed, but it was reopened and staffed for the purpose of training for this important mission. Although the troops had trained for over three years, the amphibious training conducted on this site was the last step before shipping out to England for the invasion. On D-Day, the first amphibian infantry assault teams to arrive on French soil were from the 4th Infantry Division at Utah Beach. On June 6, 2000, the Camp Gordon Johnston Association extracted a small amount of soil from this site and delivered it to the National 4th Infantry Division Association to be placed in the Association's monument in Arlington, VA. The U.S. Department of Defense's World War II Commemoration Committee in 1995 named the Camp Gordon Johnston Association an official "Commemorative Community.""
