LAKE DEFUNIAK

OUR TIME HERE WAS COMING TO AN END, BEFORE WE LEFT I WANTED TO WALK LAKE DEFUNIAK, I HAD SPENT SO MUCH TIME HERE AS A CHILD.

WE SWAM IN THIS LAKE, HUNTED EASTER EGGS AND RODE  MY HORSE IN THIS LAKE YARD.

LAKE DEFUNIAK IS A ROUND LAKE RIGHT  IN THE CENTER OF TOWN.

WHEN I LIVED HERE, THE LAKE BECAME SO POLLUTED THAT YOU WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SWIM IN IT.   IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE CLEANED UP THE LAKE AND LAKE YARD.

WE WALKED AROUND LAKE DEFUNIAK, IT'S A MILE AROUND.

I FOUND THE OLD HOSPITAL, THAT WAS BUILT ON THE LAKE.

NO LONGER THE HOSPITAL.

THIS IS ALL THAT IS LEFT OF THE AUDITORIUM. THE ROUND PART OF THE AUDITORIUM WAS ON THE BACK OF THIS AND IT HAS BEEN TORN DOWN. THIS IS WHERE I SAW JERRY LEE LEWIS.....IN PERSON!!

DEFUNIAK WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART!!

SO MANY MEMORIES!

I ASKED DARRELL TO DRIVE DOWN BALDWIN AVENUE ONE MORE TIME.....
