__________ is/are overrated.

Is the Troll from Long Island back? I'm wondering. Sounds like a new persona for him.

Referring to me?

Pretty certain he means Mike2357 and his various sockpuppets.

Am I them?

[J N Winkler]

Folks, I'm locking this topic for a period of about 24 hours.

[bugo]

Locking this thread was super lame. What was the point?

FIFY   

In all seriousness, good job mods.

[roadman65]

I think to cool us down. We were about to go into multi million territory and they felt we were ready to get on the anti triple M bandwagon again.

Colonel Mustard shot Mr. Boddy with the revolver in the Conservatory.

False, it's always the library and never the revolver.

Mr. Green (who's not gay) shot Mr. Boddy, in the hall, with the revolver. That phone call from the FBI was for him.

Told you I didn't do it.

As an aside I showed Jessica the Clue movie a couple months ago.  She apparently had never heard of the movie despite being a Tim Curry fan.  Granted she hadn't seen 1990s It until we were dating.

And regardless of the characters in Clue, It was always the person who the Scooby-Doo gang "meddled with" at the end who did it!!!

[Dough4872]

Disney World is severely overrated. It's overpriced, not worth the money, and there are way cooler things to do in Florida.

[Max Rockatansky]

I'd argue Florida on the whole is an overrated tourist destination.

JR? Kristin

Or was that only a dream too?

Especially since they traded orange groves for residential development and inviting those up north to come on down.

I've always thought of Florida as being too 'suburban sprawlish' for my tastes and not really a 'genuine' place, thus having only a few limited touristy things that I have been interested in experiencing.  That bucket list has only three things on it, driving US 1 to its south end, seeing a NASCAR race at Daytona and seeing something being launched from NASA-Kennedy.

The trouble I had when I lived in the state was that there wasn't really a lot of "true outdoor or wilderness"  spaces.  Sure stuff like the Green Swamp, Everglades and Ocala National Forest exists, but none of that has a particular amount of variety.  I also never really felt like even in the deepest parts of the Everglades that I was really removed from civilization like I was/am frequently out west.  Kind of wore on me after three years as got dull. 

But yes, Florida can be great I suppose if one has an interest in stuff like theme parks or the beach.  I did find there was some enjoyment to be found in looking for ghost towns (there was a lot phosphate company towns) but that is a very niche hobby.

[Rothman]

Although I think the Everglades are ecologically diverse -- compare open marshes to the mahogany forest, yeah, you're not far from civilization if you stick to the tour road and don't get out into the swamp somehow.

[Max Rockatansky]

The trails are fairly limited.  Unless you have some sort of non-motorized boat there is only so far in you're going to get.  I've tried the Coastal Prairie Trail (out of Flamingo) and Snake Bight Trail, they didn't really convey that particular sense of isolation I was looking for.  I didn't get too far down the old Ingraham Highway towards Ernest Coe Campground given how overgrown it is.  Perhaps the is the only trail in Everglades National Park that is truly rugged?

[1995hoo]

I could understand why it's probably not what you're looking for, but the view from the watch tower at Shark Valley made me feel like I was way the heck out in the middle of nowhere.

[Max Rockatansky]

Yes, but think about how you get to that tower.  It's either by tram or bike along a paved former quarry road.  That felt different to me than say hiking down towards Yosemite Valley along the Old Big Oak Flat Road.

I don't know, I gave Florida the old college try for three years and it just wasn't for me.

I was talking about getting on a boat.

It's like going to Voyageurs National Park, going to the VC and maybe a nature trail, and then saying, "Well, that wasn't that exciting."  Well, sure.  You need to get on a boat.
