White City

Did you know Gulf County is in two time zones?? We did not. We also thought the time zone changed at the Apalachicola River….in most cases it does. But as we were traveling along today we were surprised when we noticed the time had changed on our phones and my watch 30 or so miles west of Apalachicola. We discussed the major milestone of being back in the eastern time zone… yay! Then we went into White City which has a nice boat ramp and adjacent park. There was a fishing tournament, lots of distraction. At some point James said it was six, I said it was five and after a bit with no consensus we let Siri settle things…. James asked what time is it in the eastern time zone and she said six so I fed the animals and started dinner. But it was only five. The correct question should have been what time is it in White City. Apparently back in the day shipping and rail wanted to keep the coastal area in the eastern time zone so everything south of the ICW is eastern in Gulf Country and north is central… White City is north…whew!! According to Google there are ten counties in the US that are in two time zones. Three in ND. Not many pictures. The ICW here is a ditch but it is pretty… just not pic worthy.Read more
