Max , we have a few Florida members as far as coast stories we have

more in common. I was at a town just before Aplachicola,I needed gas

so Aplachicola looked like a big town on the map,so I went for it...got

there to find no gas, almost on empty. I went to the police dept and

ask for a few gallons to get me to the next station.They said no,get

a hotel room for the night,the hotel was a big house with a wrap

around porch. I rang for the manager,no one else around. I paid for

a room and the manager took me to the second floor and showed me

the room. I walked my family to the second floor room,looked inside.

I said no way am I staying trapped in a room not seeing a person

around,the room was dark and dingy. So we went down and slept

on the porch. The next morning I went out side and saw a shimping

fleet...that I had not seen in the dark. The first time you see a fleet

of shimps boats all lined up...that is something else. Fueled up and left

town with a story of mixed memories.

 

Oh yah they net the grassbeds at night.Actualy good fishing if you trail em a half mile. But I live in prime shrimp territory so I'm used to seeing them. As far as hotels you lucked out. We paid $100+ for a room in DC where prostitutes knocked on your door.

 

Why was that so important when choosing your hotel?
