HouseCat - I live about 40 miles or so from Cantonment. If you go north from Cantoment on US 29, you come to the town of Century, almost on the Alabama border. I live about 25 miles east of Century.

I used to catch a lot of fish on the pier at Ft. Pickens. Unfortunately, the road to the park was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and they're still haggling over engineering proposals to build a more hurricane resistant type of road. They don't want to just rebuild the road as it was because it's been wiped out several times before and the consensus is that doing so would be throwing good money after bad. Only pedestrians and boats can get out there right now.
