Here's what we need

Yeah, a follow on project and accompanying closure….hope not.

Ft Pierce is supposedly going to try and charge to park at places that have been free for decades and their restrooms can be gross along seaway. St Lucie will need revenue to seal coat and restripe and fix the commodes and urinals. And oh what will happen after a cat 1 storm or worse.

Im a fan of primitive sand and less govt if you hadn’t picked that up.

I think it will be tight parking on weekends for sure! Get there early! I did notice a provision for future additional parking off the NW corner of the lot, see attached.

It looks fancy. Crazy they have to pay for palm trees when it was a jungle that had its own. Maybe they could have dug them up and moved them. Govt contract prices I'm sure.

The old lot was almost always at its inexact capacity, so hopefully more cars can be accommodated with curbs and stripes.

On another note, 3 more people were arrested.

There have been naredowells there from the beginning on the trails and with their beach screening up and we have not seen an arrest once. Have seen the Sheriff in the lot keeping an eye on people on the trails.

I suspect they will have to devote more taxpayer time and money monitoring this lot, the restrooms, and A1A parking. And little mud violators.

Went to SXM in July/Aug, multiple trips to the Cove. BCB is not inviting at the movement.

Thanks for the good picture though. 1000 words worth.

This is the site plan, I improved its resolution but lettering is still undecipherable. It shows the bathhouse near the entrance.

No comment. Attached is a photo of the parking lot today showing that the paving has begun. I was there at 9AM and a total of 2 people were on the beach.

YOU KNOW, IVE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY ON THE BEACH AT LITTLE MUD. THE ONLY PEOPLE I SEE IN THE LOT ARE BOATERS USING THE RAMP AND A FEW FISHERMEN IN THE CREEK. THE COUNTY CREATED THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST CLOSED BLIND CREEK UNTIL THEY COULD GET A 2 MONTH JOB DONE.

THE NET RESULT WILL BE NO REAL GAIN IN PARKING LOT SPACES, SHOWERS ILL NEVER USE AND THE LOSS OF THE A1A PARKING WE HAVE USED FOR YEARS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM FROM THE GOVERNMENT. AND WEIRDOS HANGING OUT IN THE BUILDINGS. SHERIFF BETTER HAVE TWO DEPUTIES ( 1 MALE, 1 FEMALE) WITH A DESK INSIDE THE LATRINES.


SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT I WAS ON A ROLL.

TCN & BLIND CREEK BEACH HAPPENINGS

ARRESTS AT LITTLE MUD

In case you missed our last bulletin... Six people were arrested last Saturday and another two on Wednesday for being nude at Little Mud. They were charged with violation of FSS 800.03: Indecent Exposure of Sexual Organs. Their pictures appeared on the Sheriff's social media sites and then on the local television news. This is horrible publicity for Blind Creek Beach and nude beaches in general.

Please do not get nude at Little Mud! Walk 3/4 mile south to the clothing-optional section.

Update on the Parking Area Construction

The latest update from the county is that they expect to reopen the parking area approximately December 1st

===========================================
We are here now, haven't looked at the parking area yet. Just took the short walk to the beach at Little Mud. Dressed of course. Walked halfway down the beach toward Blind Creek and saw many people in the distance, passed only one naked guy lounging where we turned around. Talked to a sheriff's deputy who said he is patrolling Little Mud 3-4 times per day. He has done under cover too. It's a long walk on the sand, we'll probably walk up the sidewalk to the legal zone. Hoping the damn lot opens sooner than 12/1!!

My friend's family and friends are physically ok, although I'm sure traumatized from the widespread destruction.

As of now, if anyone wants to give, they are suggesting an official Jamaican government website and Samaritan's purse

I'm sure as time goes along, there will be other specific Jamaica places to donate.

That sounds like an amazing trip! I’ve heard Transylvania and Brasov are beautiful, but it’s nice to hear firsthand how much the country has changed and modernized. The mix of old and new sounds really interesting. I agree it’s always smart to do a bit of research first, especially with the economic differences you mentioned. Thanks for sharing your experience, it definitely makes Romania sound worth visiting but If you plan to explore more of Romania, you might want to hire a local guide through https://gowithguide.com/ They offer private, customizable tours with locals who can show you hidden gems and make the most of your time.

Update from TCN just now:

ARRESTS AT LITTLE MUD

Please be advised that the Sheriff has cracked down on nudity near the Little Mud entry pathway to the beach. On Saturday, October 25th, 6 people were arrested near Little Mud just for being nude outside of the clothing-optional area. They were escorted off the beach and handcuffed. They were charged with Indecent Exposure of Sexual Organs. Then the Sheriff's Department posted their pictures on their social media accounts. This was picked up by the local media and made it onto the evening news.

Do not let this happen to you!

The clothing-optional area is 3/4 south of the Little Mud parking area. We urge our beachgoers to heed this warning and stay within the designated clothing-optional area.

If you know anyone who was involved in these arrests, please have them contact us by emailing treasurecoastnaturists@gmail.com

TCN is getting them a lawyer(s) to fight it. For now I would head down south from Mud until you get to other nekkid folk. No way to be sure without a sign. It's on the news down here: LINK We will be down there tomorrow for all of Nov. so will give updates on status of the parking lot.

My friend still hasn't heard directly from her family, but someone from that area said they thought that everyone was safe. Hopefully she will hear soon.

Screenshot of a CBS news report today on Blind Creek. Good news: parking lot looking good. Bad news: they arrested 6 sad folks for being naked too close to Mud Creek (even though there are no signs saying where the nude beach starts)

🙏🙏🙏

My friend's family is mainly on the west end, which was hit the hardest. She hasn't heard from them yet.

Images are starting to come out of Jamaica and it is heart breaking. Declared a disaster zone by the Prime Minister.

I don't think any part of the island will escape this one..

Eight persons thus far missing sad 😢 🙏🙏🙏

I dont think it will be good for west side of island, Montego Bay or Negril. Big Storm barreling due north. Standby for high winds and heavy seas.

9 AM advisory--ABOUT 50 MI...80 KM SSE OF NEGRIL JAMAICA, sustained winds 180 mph..

The people living in Jamaica need ours prayers. The people living in SXM know all too well what they will be going through today and for months afterwards.

Please Carol. This is going to be devastating.

I have a good friend who has family in Jamaica. I will ask her to send me links for organizations that will assist those in need, which I'm sure will be massive.

I am moving this now to the Jamaica forum.

Will put our 2 cents in for Kazan. Both Tim and his sister Anna run a really neat
Resort. If you ever have had qualms about going to a naked resort don’t
This is the most beautiful quaint place. The oyster Bay Area is really quiet with a lot of restaurants nearby plus the orient Bay Area is only about 15 minutes away
