I never tire of taking footprint in the sand pictures, and how lucky to find a deserted beach. My kind of vacation.

Dang. Must've missed the Tuesday night announcement. Would've loved to meet some of the SoWal legends. I DID try to make the Sunday Red Bar outing, but ran a little late and evidently got there after the crew had left. We wandered the beach looking for a suitably boisterous group, but didn't have any luck.

Yes, if you didn't hear Biff's BWAAA HAAA, then the boisterous group had disbanded.

Beautiful? Absolutely.

We were talking on the way home and I commented that in some aspects, the SoWal experience reminds me of the Grand Canyon. People describe it, you see pictures, and you think you know what it will look like, but you really have no idea until that first time you step on the beach and see the combination of blue sky, white sand and azure water. Glorious.

Yes. After seeing photo evidence of the group, I would've almost certainly recognized the commotion.

My beach search did present an interesting dilema.....how to approach and identify a group of folks you've never met and only have passing knowledge of from an internet forum? Should I say "Excuse me, are you SoWallers?" or "Pardon me, but are you wearing SoWal thongs?"
