This weekend we shot a video from Gulf place covering Dune Allen Beaches along through Blue Mountain beach finishing up at the neighborhood of The Retreat.  Notice toward the end of the video that Draper Lake had just opened up into the Gulf.  We don't get to see this happen all that much.   Draper Lake was high and there was a lot of white water initially once it broke through.
