I used to live in Mobile, went to Dauphine Island often. (In the 50’s). Have you ever looked into what Marci Gras is about?

Yep but I was not conceived under an azalea bush at 12 noon on Fat Tuesday like you would think some of these folks here believe and act. I moved here to finish college. While Mardi Gras was fun when I was young and I guess slightly foolish [only slightly], it holds no sway over me. I'm a Redneck from the Blackbelt and of Scots-Irish blood and keenly aware of what my forefathers endured and why. I was looking for any articles posted on the Dauphin Island Sea Lab regarding water and this covered the metals of the beads. So I included it. In the 60's we visited a family friend who owned a cottage on DI and I can remember blue crabs running amok after the adults caught them and before they ended up in the pot. The only time I remember the beach as a child. Instead, by the late 60's my Daddy who loved to fish and travel took us out west to the National Parks and into Canada to fish, get out of the heat and wait for the soybeans to be harvested. My most treasured memories as a child. I am very fortunate.

If nothing else it is the least developed as far as condos compared to Gulf Shores.
