This was the last week before the official launch of the 2009 Holiday Season but it’s been so busy around here apparently a lot of people have already started doing their Christmas shopping, and coastal real estate looks as if it is high on Santa’s gift list. We had three ...

For Capers, 2008 will be remembered as the Year of Beach Restoration, so it’s fitting that the project should be nearing completion as we plan our bonfire-on-the-beach New Year’s Eve parties. I stopped at Stumphole this afternoon on the way home from work and got out and shot a few ...

This morning traffic is flowing freely in both lanes on Cape San Blas Road through Stumphole. The surf has finally quieted back down, and except for the few homes on the southern portion of the Cape which were damaged by the storm, a couple quite severely, life is getting back ...

Although the county was able to quickly reopen Cape San Blas Road to traffic again by late Monday afternoon after closing it at 10 a.m., the rocks at Stumphole took quite a thumping and FDOT will hopefully make repairs quickly. I saw three of their crew members out yesterday with ...

Sorry, kids – you’re going back to school today. Cape San Blas Road is re-opened and once again traffic is passing through Stumphole.
