New Road named...

I saw that yesterday.

good for him

As hard as he worked to get that road, I am sure that fits nicely.

Where is it?

Where is it?

Between 83 and 331 heading North. A long winding road to the Estuary. Very cool!

Is it crooked too?

I think Bobby intended to type, "between 283 and 331."I noticed the sign today. I laughed. I think it is such a nice name for a road which leads to some truly beautiful property. I am just glad it's a blue sign (privately maintained).

Thanks SJ and Bobby. I'll have a look tomorrow on my run into Destin.

:roll:

winding road? crooked road? who cares, it is a nice new road.
It should not matter who it is named after.

Actually, I don't think the road is new, just the sign.

ok then my bad, I thought it was new since people were making a "fuss" over it. Or I guess it is who it is named after.

Bingo.... hence my 'crooked' reference.

I know..... Maybe not just crooked, just caught...

Correct. I meant 283. It is a "newly" paved road.

Snap!

Hat-tip to you


.

Yes, the road has been there a while. It's a private road through the public state forest, and has electricity, water and sewer run along it all the way to the bay. It really seems like overkill for the few lots that make up the Estuary at the end of that road - it also seems like those lots could have been reached from 331 or Bay Dr.

If someone is going to develop more of that land that is now public forest, though, it's perfect.

I did not know that Mr. Harris had anything to do with the Estuary. Why is it so "perfect" that the road is named after him?

Actually, I don't think the road is new, just the sign.

The road was actually one of two jeeps trails that go thru the state forest. It lead to the bay and the private property back there while the other winds around to Bay Dr. The Forestry dept. maintains the one to Bay Dr. now to be used for wildfire access/firebreaks should they ever need to. But when those trails were first cleared the property belonged to SJPC. Did any oldtimer manage to get one of those yellow concrete markers with "SJPC" on it? (That could probably be sold back to them for a nice profit for a museum or info center that I am sure they will build one day).

is there anything happening back there yet, or is it still a road to nowhere?

He's had the lifeguard chairs ready for years ;-).

As far as road names, that name is better that "Indian Woman Road" a road off of Chat Holley. Supposedly, that road was named after some inebriated Walton County politicos in th 60's were actually trying to name it after Pocahontis, whose name escaped them at the time....

Frustrated in not being able to think of her actual name, they decided to just "name it after that damn Indian woman...." The rest is history...

Luckily the beach in front of his house in Seagrove is not "private property".

What do you think DILIGAF stands for? I can not even type this without laughing! He should get an award! Next time I see him I am going to hug him!
