Those ****ers were huge. We’d just be a snack to them.

Think about this...When Baby Megalodons were born, (live birth) they were already 7-8ft. Adults were 45-60ft. The largest Adult Great White in the World is around 19ft.

Wow, had no idea there was anything interesting (archaeologically) out around Championsgate.

Though, now that I think about it, there's a sign on the Osceola Parkway that mentions the headwaters for the Everglades starting up there around Kissimmmee.

Wow. When I was down there in 1993, I think they had just found a new site, and now 30 years later, they are still finding stuff.

You have a Plethora of Large Natural lakes in that area. The Lake & area by Fantasy of Flight is teaming with Artifacts. When they built Reunion I slayed that area.
