That is just massive!

I’m sure the picture does not do it justice.

How old is it and how much longer you think it’s got?

It doesn't.  The folks that made the trip to the CFPACS Fall 2024 Meeting can confirm as well. :)

No problem. I always go out of my way to make it down there whenever I have the opportunity to.

Last time I was staying in Fort Myers and I made the trek across I-75 just to go there lol
