The oil from the Deepwater Horizon oilpocalypse has already reached the most westerly part of Florida's panhandle in the Pensacola area, and is now threatening the entire northern Gulf Coast of Florida. Most people are familiar with the beautiful beaches of much of the Gulf coast of Florida, in particular, the stunning Emerald Coast along the north Florida Gulf Coast from Panama City Beach west. The Emerald Coast is a popular vacation haven. Kristina40's beautiful diary captures the incredible visual wonder of the Emerald Coast. This diary is about how this oil threatens another very important area of the north Florida Gulf coast, Florida's Forgotten Coast, and in particular, the Apalachee Bay.
