Noted. Thanks.
Sometimes the AF gets a little too protective of their areas.
The Santa Rosa County wanted to open up a pass to the Gulf of Mexico from Navarre’s Santa Rosa Sound. It would involve dredging an old pass that used to be there and slowly filled in over the decades. It would be about 100 yards or so long and allow people direct access to the Gulf of Mexico from Navarre and surrounding areas. Otherwise they have to go 20 miles to either east or west ends of Santa Rosa Island to get to the Gulf. It would have been a huge boon to tourism and property values. It would have also provided a flushing out of the dead sound waters with clean Gulf waters.
BUT, since the AF owned the property adjacent to the proposed pass, they objected using their tired excuse, “It would interfere with our mission.” so it was effectively nixed, permanently.
Now, maybe the next hurricane will open it up naturally, as it was a hurricane that created it, and they can’t say a damn thing....................
