Has anyone been through RiverCamps lately? I heard the River House was well into construction and that several houses have been started. Just curious what kind of activity is going on there.

Thanks.

The mosquitos, no-see-ums and fish are biting.

We haven't been through there is awhile, but if the new airport is approved tomorrow as expected Ole Smiling Joe will be calling his realtor for a tour with check book in hand.

That would be a party of one.

I hope SJ can find it. As we drove past over the weekend, the letters spelling "Rivercamps" on the sign had been removed, although you can see where they were since the sun bleached the sign around them- like a stencil. The place looked abandoned from the road, but maybe that is the look they were going for?? All I know is that it didn't look that way in July.

No, I do like the landscape up there, but I would not want to be that close to the airport and so far from Grayton Beach. I am serious about the no-see-ums biting. Those critters drive me crazy.

Dont they have a mister system that you can purchase to control the bugs?:idontno: Even here in Inlet 1/2 mile from the Gulf we have major mosquitos. Our Mosquito magnet works wonders...no bugs for us, or our neighbors. I agree SJ it is buggy up there but beautiful. I would live there for sure.

They probably do, because otherwise, they would not sell a lot to people who actually drive there. Personally, I prefer not to breathe in all of the poison if I have a choice.

Just don't go over to Indian Pass without a beekeepers suit, those suckers will carry you off there.

Right now the rain seems to have drowned them. (I live 5 minutes from Indian Pass.)
But maybe they'll come back worse than ever.
It's always been fine at the beach though.

I keep looking at land there. It sure is peaceful and beautiful. The bugs chase me away every time. They were bad at Cape San Blas as well. Have I visited at bad times or are they a problem most of the time?

Good question, Pirate. I don't have an answer.
I remember Seagrover also said something about mosquitoes at the Cape, and I felt terrible, especially because we never seemed to suffer from them when we were on the Cape, or now, when we are right next to it. (We'll be moving soon to St Joe Beach, but right now we are basically between Indian Pass and the Cape.) At the moment, the skeeters are gone but I think they'll come back. If we did not have a screened porch, I think we'd be in trouble. But we never have *any* problems when we're at the beach.
