  1. I wanted to take a few moments to share with you, all of the fun my family and I had in Florida this past week. We spent some time in Key Largo, the Everglades and Orlando. My favorite time was spent in Key Largo as it was our first time there and we had an excellent experience down there. Our hotel was located next to a marina which happened to be filled with a variety of wildlife. Most of you know that I am fascinated with sharks. The marina was full of nurse sharks. Every now and then you would see them swimming near the surface. We found out that when the fishing boats came in, they would clean the fish at stations other docks. All the scraps would go into the water. Sharks, barracuda, pelicans and other critters would then feast on the chum. We even saw a mother manatee and her baby. Our first full day there we took a guided snorkeling tour. The boat took around 50 people about 7 miles offshore to a coral reef. We were delighted to see many different fish species. One of my favorite ones were the parrot fish. The color combinations were beautiful. We also swam with many Barracuda, some which were between 5-6 feet long. These were rather intimidating. The absolute highlight came just before I was ready to get out. The tour was for an hour and it was getting close to being over. I was exhausted from fighting the current and my mask was pushing into my forehead and hurting. I told my wife I was done and was going back to the boat. As soon as I got the words out of my mouth my youngest Son yelled" Dad there's a shark!" Immediately the pain and tiredness disappeared and adrenaline kicked in. I asked him where it was and he said that it was right under him. I put my head under water and saw a nurse shark swimming below him. I started swimming towards it and maneuvered myself about 6 feet above it. I swam above the shark for a minute or two until it began to get to far ahead of me. I was ecstatic to be able to swim with this magnificent creature. To swim with a shark has been on my bucket list for a very long time. It was a great experience. We only spent a couple days in Key Largo. On the way there and after we left we made stops at the Everglades there we took an airboat ride as well as walked the trails at a couple of the parks. We got up close to some gators that were laying close to the trails. At one point we saw a mother gator with a baby lying on mom's tail. The rest of the time was spent in Orlando. We went to Disney Springs one day and Epcott another. Some time was also spent with my in-laws. We had such a good time we didn't want to come back home. Anyways I got some pics to share. Hope you enjoy! Dave
  2. HI All We are going to be staying near Orlando for this christmas/new years break. I have convinced my wife to come with us on a fossil hunting trip. She does not swim and will not go in a boat or canoe. I realize we are probably looking at going to the Peace river near Wauchula to hunt. Can anyone suggest where we can go where we can hunt without using a boat? It looks like the Peace river water level is dropping. It doesnt have to be near Wauchula, keeping in mind we are staying near Orlando. We are actually staying in Clermont. Thanks
  3. Hello I live in Orlando, Florida and have been trying to find good spots for a while. Just a problem is I would prefer a thin creek or river and I haven’t been able to find one yet. Any tips or locations? Sorry if I chose the wrong place to submit this I just recently found this website.
  4. My family and I will be at Disney World Florida August 1-8, 2019. I would like to take a day trip to go looking for shark teeth and fossils. I have no idea where to go and am looking for someone who knows where to go and wouldn’t mind showing me the ropes. Anyone interested?
