Dune Stompers and Sand Surfers...
For the last two days while going out on my third floor walk out to watch the Sunset I have noticed that people are walking and standing on top of the high point of our preserve area by Draper Lake.
It seems our Dunes are "The Place" to watch the sun go down.
While walking east from the Hwy 83 beach access yesterday I noticed several children riding tubes, and rolling down the fake dunes covering the seawalls while the parents chatted away.
So... Real dunes are protected (at least in our minds and on the lawbooks of Florida),
And Fake dunes covering seawalls and tubes are not real dunes so they are not protected in the least....
And who will point out this difference to the Visitors ?
Go figure.....
