A Bit of the War Here On Florida's Forgotten Coast

Spent Saturday and Sunday night at a motel on St. George Island.  Before this trip, we'd never heard of the place, but it will definitely be on future destination lists.  It is what Florida was like in the "old days."

There is a bit of World War II history connected with the area though.

A freighter was sunk by a U-boat some twenty miles offshore from Apalachicola.  And, during World War II, a secret base called Camp Gordon Johnson was set up by Lanark Village for amphibious training for the Normandy D-Day invasion.

The word is that munitions from the war are still found throughout Franklin and Wakulla counties and folks are warned not to handle them.

So, Some "Forgotten" War Stuff.  --GreGen
