Jup31 Go Fish,

Just returned and hopefully bought a house (At least it's under contract). While I was

there a gentleman and lady told me that they saw a monitor crossing the highway

(I think they said rte 41). A Jersey boy don't anything about monitors, but what the hey!

That is some article you sent me. Really opens one's eye's. BTY there are burrowing owls about

two or three lots from the house we contracted, man are they cute! My cousin took us to Cape

Coral beach, not for fun but to see the wildlife, there are flocks of green parrots all over the place.

Talk about exotic!

Best regards, and thanks for all the information!

Be careful in your selection around Cape Coral. There are bridges and locks that seriously affect boating. Also, too far up the river and the no-wake zones are a hassle. Much of Cape Coral is made up of filled in land so homes can have serious settling cracks and structural issues. Generally the best long-term value is in the older "yacht-club" area of town. Closer to open water and unrestricted access. Homes and lots are often smaller, but hold their value because of the more desirable boating. Look for "sailboat" access -- deeper water and no low bridges.
