Sorry Rick, I've been to Orlando a few times but only went to Disney World, maybe Cash or Smartfox could help you since they live down that way, have a great time & be careful, hope you find some promising hunting grounds!!

Ric-
I'm about 4 hours away from Orlando. I'm not really sure where to hunt.
The beaches are east from there, they shouldn't be too far. That might work. Let me know how things work out. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

HH!

Ric, Daytona is not to far from Orlando, about 55 miles, Cocoa beach 55 miles. and Sebastian [ the Treasure coast] is about 74 miles. From Sebastian a couple miles south you will have to cross the bridge in Wabasso to the beach.
Hope you find somewhere to hunt.

Earl
