Johnson Beach is lovely! Hubby's family used to vacation at the Vista del Mar condo, which was the last one on the road before entering the park. Sadly, its foundation was undermined during Hurricane Ivan, and they had to tear it down. They wanted to rebuild, but the environmentalist wackos took it upon themselves to convince the powers that be that a particular sand mouse was endangered, and if it were found on property, no one should be allowed to build there.

Well, after the structure was removed, the mice moved in since there was nothing to stop them, so since there were now mice on the property, the folks could no longer build there. Such an asinine regulation; it made millions of dollars worth of beachfront property immediately worthless.

That would be the Perdido Beach Mouse. No building went on for many years because of this mouse. I don’t know if anyone has ever even seen one.

There’s a bar out there that has a mouse toss in celebration of the stupidness of the envirowacks and the county building department.
