  1. OK, time to spout some local pride. I'm being hunted by a
    large company out of Quebec, who happens to have an
    office in Southwest Florida, in the Ft. Meyers, Bonita,
    Naples areas.

    I'm looking for some local dirt on the area, neighborhoods,
    climate, age demographics, etc., etc. I'll probably be asked
    to relocate, so I need some intel to get my wife on board.
    It'll be a tough sell since she grew up in New England, her
    parents grew up here, and her grandparents grew up here. I
    also need to convince myself, since my only perception of
    Fla is old people and Orlando.

    Also, what are the activities one can participate in? In New
    England I'm within a short jaunt to world class mountain
    biking (see, I'm on topic...), great road riding, great
    white water paddling, and some excellent bouldering and rock
    climbing areas. I'm also a surfer in the summer months, but
    the board has collected some dust the past couple seasons.

    Basically, They're flying me down in a couple of weeks, so I
    need to be armed with some info to accept or decline an
    offer, or negotiate a better one!

    If anyone wants to mail me direct, feel free at dunning_josh
    (at) yahoo (dot) com.

    Thanks again to the patrons of A-MB!

    Closest good trail will be Alafia , see geocitie-geocitie-
    s.com/Yosemite/Falls/3939/alafiariver.html Also see Croom at
    geocities.comcroomsec.html ,
    but it is good only after a day or so of rain.

    The climate is humid and hot, rains frequently, if not daily
    in summer( in afternoon). Scuba diving is [censored] within a few
    miles of shore, but if you go about 100 miles out, to the
    Middle Grounds, this is world class diving.

    Alafia is awesome, and you can run Mapquest to see how big
    of a drive it would be for you.
