My h...I was wondering if you could help us please. My husband and I have spent several Christmas holidays on Dauphin Island. It broke our hearts to see the damage from the oil spill all across the island and other areas. We knew that we would want to return as soon as possible to help support the local economy.<br /><br />Funny thing is when I have asked about our rental on Dauphin they say there is no oil on the beaches at all!<br /><br />This blog is the only one I have found that talks about the damage to the beaches etc. I did find a news page that spoke of a new clean up effort.<br /><br />So I was wondering can you tell me if there is oil on the west end beaches at Dauphin? Are there cleaning crews there now and will they be there from Christmas through New Years?<br /><br />We certainly do not want to stay if we can't walk on the beach and we do not want to listen to cleaning equipment running all day long as well.<br /><br />It will be sad if we can't spend Christmas there because we just love the little island and the people. However we can't get a straight answer from the owners. They just keep telling us there is no oil on the beaches.<br /><br />After reading your blog I find their information to be incorrect. Can you advise on the situation there now?<br /><br />The blog is just wonderful. It is so tragic and it seems the rest of the country thinks everything is back to normal. I can't imagine it being back to normal for decades but that's just my opinion.<br /><br />Thank you so very much and have a very blessed Christmas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
