This has got to be the funniest story I've ever read.
This old fellow, in a beat up truck, heads to Florida with
two small kids, a grown son and a baby sitter for the kids.

Well he drives around a Do Not Enter sign and his old truck
breaks down on this causeway. The son catches fish and they
build a fire, they tear the fender off the truck to cook the
fish in. They find old scrap lumber on the beachfront and
build a shack. Nobody bothers them for awhile because of the
Do Not Enter Sign.
It seems the state government had hauled in the sand, built
the bridges, and built the beaches planning on a grand
opening to the public. When they do a drive by to check it,
they discover the old fellow, his beat up truck, and his
shack. Intent on making him leave, they insult and try to
browbeat him.
They really tick him off so he gets a ride into town, begins to ask
lots of questions and finds out the homestead law is still in
effect so he files papers to homestead the whole beachfront.
Well you can see the fights just starting between him
and the government.
