Unlike most dunes, these areas have pretty good soil. When it rains hard the lakes fill and the water escapes through what’s known as an outfall, which is where the lake overwhelms the berm that separates it from the sea. When that happens fresh water floods out over the dunes, delivering nutrients, along with plants and animals that would otherwise not be on dunes. </p> +<p>The lakes are also individually disinct, with varying levels of salinity and different specifies of life in each one. Probably the most popular of the lakes, from what I could tell, is here in Grayton, known as Western Lake.</p> +<div class="picwide"> + <a itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" href="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2018/2018-03-25_142654_grayton-beach-st-park.jpg " title="view larger image"> + <img class="u-photo" itemprop="contentUrl" sizes="(max-width: 1439px) 100vw, (min-width: 1440px) 1440px" srcset="https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-03-25_142654_grayton-beach-st-park_picwide-sm.jpg 720w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-03-25_142654_grayton-beach-st-park_picwide-med.jpg 1170w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-03-25_142654_grayton-beach-st-park_picwide.jpg 2880w" src="https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-03-25_142654_grayton-beach-st-park_picwide-med.jpg" alt="grayton beach state park, florida photographed by luxagraf" data-jslghtbx="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2018/2018-03-25_142654_grayton-beach-st-park.jpg" data-jslghtbx-group="group" > + </a> +</div> + +<p>We were again, somehow, able to get in on some cancellations and spent four days wandering the lakeside and seashore of Grayton State Park. This time there was no RV Park, no pool and the people were mostly like us. One morning some kids from another site wandered over and started playing with our kids. Eventually the parents came by to check on their children and we got to talking. The mom told me about how she let her son, who was seven, wander wherever he wanted. He’d walked to the beach (about a mile) the day before. </p> +<p>I was impressed because I often feel like we’re the only people who let our kids do that sort of thing. But then the woman expressed my one great fear, that some meddling adult would end up calling the cops or otherwise harrassing our kids about doing their own thing. It’s never actually happened, but I’m constantly worried about it given the average American’s inability to mind their own damn business. Neither of us had any solution, but it was at least comforting to know that other parents have the same concerns. </p> +<p>Eventually the other family had to go (our kids have an unfortunate knack for making friends with kids that are leaving that day). </p> +<p>Not ten minutes later some woman came up to Corrinne talking about some kids she had seen “just walking down by the water” and how “someone should be watching them.” Luckily for that woman she talked to Corrinne who shrugged and politely turned away. I’m not nearly as polite.</p> +<p>Another blog I read regularly writes quite a bit about this meddling phenomena in other contexts and has suggested reviving the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/aemays/5547187616/">Anti-Poke-Nose society</a> in response to people who can’t seem to stop from poking their noses in other people’s business. I’d love join. And seriously world, if no one’s bleeding, just stay the hell out of my kids’ business.</p> +<p>Free ranging children wasn’t the only old school thing we did at Grayton. One day we even managed to go super old school and spend all day in the sun, like I did growing up, a good six hours of sunshine, back when we weren’t scared of the sun. We still aren’t. </p> +<div class="picwide"> + <a itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" href="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2018/2018-03-24_123953_grayton-beach-st-park.jpg " title="view larger image"> + <img class="u-photo" itemprop="contentUrl" sizes="(max-width: 1439px) 100vw, (min-width: 1440px) 1440px" srcset="https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-03-24_123953_grayton-beach-st-park_picwide-sm.jpg 720w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-03-24_123953_grayton-beach-st-park_picwide-med.jpg 1170w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-03-24_123953_grayton-beach-st-park_picwide.jpg 2880w" src="https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-03-24_123953_grayton-beach-st-park_picwide-med.jpg" alt="grayton beach state park, florida photographed by luxagraf" data-jslghtbx="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2018/2018-03-24_123953_grayton-beach-st-park.jpg" data-jslghtbx-group="group" > + </a> +</div> + +<p>There were plenty of sandcastles built, water fights had, and games of freeze tag played.

Scott Gilbertson is very much the Renaissance man — photographer, bird watcher, wood-working craftsman, courageous nomad who would travel deserts and mountains in an antique motor home, a father who is not raising PC snowflake snotnoses (free range children).

We’d never been to that part of Florida before and wouldn’t stay in Panama City again. I was looking back and reading your posts from that area of Florida. On our last day we drove by Grayton State Park. Looks like a nice area. That’s where we would go if we came back again. We did love seeing the sea life in the Gulf.

I think everyone should do it at least once, but yes there are much nicer places. Grayton is nice, but if you come back go to St. George Island over by Apalachicola.

St George has very few hotels, half the island is a state park, and there’s just not much out there. I also really like Apalachicola, which is just across the bay. </p> +<p>The whole coastline down there is pretty similar though, there’s not a huge difference between Grayton and anywhere else within 50 miles east and west, at least in terms of the beaches. It’s all about the towns around them, I happen to like Apalachicola a lot more than the rest. There’s also St. Joseph Peninsula, which is just west of Apalachicola and really nice as well.</p> + + </div> + </div> + + </div> + + +<div class="comment--form--wrapper comment-form-border"> + +<div class="comment--form--header"> + <p class="hed">Thoughts?</p> + <p class="subhed">Please leave a reply:</p> +</div> +<form action="/comments/post/" method="post" class="comment--form"> + +<input type="hidden" name="rder" value="" /> + + + <input type="hidden" name="content_type" value="jrnl.entry" id="id_content_type"> + + + + <input type="hidden" name="object_pk" value="249" id="id_object_pk"> + + + + <input type="hidden" name="timestamp" value="1596833350" id="id_timestamp"> + + + + <input type="hidden" name="security_hash" value="f9e8bd27327e4a0b2cc2d30f6687cc1329f22ce6" id="id_security_hash"> + + + + <fieldset > + <label for="id_name">Name:</label> + <input type="text" name="name" maxlength="50" required id="id_name"> + </fieldset> + + + + <fieldset > + <label for="id_email">Email address:</label> + <input type="email" name="email" required id="id_email"> + </fieldset> + + + + <fieldset > + <label for="id_url">URL:</label> + <input type="url" name="url" id="id_url"> + </fieldset> + + + + <fieldset > + <label for="id_comment">Comment:</label> + <div class="textarea-rounded"><textarea name="comment" cols="40" rows="10" maxlength="3000" required id="id_comment"> +</textarea></div> + </fieldset> + + + + <fieldset style="display:none;"> + <label for="id_honeypot">If you enter anything in this field your comment will be treated as spam:</label> + <input type="text" name="honeypot" id="id_honeypot"> + </fieldset> + + + <div class="submit"> + <input type="submit" name="post" class="submit-post btn" value="Post" /> + <input type="submit" name="preview" class="submit-preview btn" value="Preview" /> + </div> +</form> +<p style="font-size: 95%;"><strong>All comments are moderated</strong>, so you won’t see it right away.
