Supposedly, this is Florida's forgoten coast, but we found alot here.The St George Island Lighthouse has quite a history. It all began in 1823 when John Lee Williams sought refuge on the beautiful island of St. George. With a shortage of food supplies, the crew depended on the island’s ample store of oysters and crabs. Very soon the island experienced a surge in trading activities especially along the banks of the Apalachicola River. This led to the construction of the lighthouse in 1833. It was used in those times as a navigational tool for incoming ships. However, in 2005 a storm led to its destruction, much to the chagrin of native islanders. The lighthouse has since been reconstructed. Check my video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWjSUvT7RNA As always, comments are welcome here and on Youtube. Happy Shooting !Crutch
