ChemStar Report post Posted January 27, 2011 If there is an interest in meeting up before and carpooling I suggest meeting at 7:15 am at The rest area by I75/Daniels Rd. : http://maps.google.c...013797&t=h&z=16 and departing promptly at 7:30 am. I think the buses will be too much of an expense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhuyvetter Report post Posted January 27, 2011 That is exactly where we have met the past two years. At least the Fort Myers and north crowd. The Naples folks just headed straight across the alley. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdhuyvetter Report post Posted February 12, 2011 A real reef addict can just feel their way to an LFS!!!! We're drawn to it like a magnet! "GPS, we don't need no stinking GPS" (well OK, maybe not CRF, I always get lost going to that one) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidCC Report post Posted February 12, 2011 A gps won't help you find coral reef farm...you just gotta use your keen reefer instincts. Nice store though Driving from home to key biscayne to tamarac back home is one loooong day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[email protected] Report post Posted February 12, 2011 What are everyone's thoughts on Fish Emporium or Coral Reef Farm in Broward before dinner?? I've always wanted to do Coral Reef Farm but keep missing it for one reason or another. All Fish Emporium is of less interest to me, but always a fun visit. Jeff Driving from home to key biscayne to tamarac back home is one loooong day. I'll be doing it Wednesday and again on Saturday, with a possible return to Lauderdale on Sunday... ;)/>/> Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
