On first glance, I find it interesting that different species of whales are being depicted in the pictures and that I-95 is being mentioned in the directions when I-95 is nowhere near Lake Michigan. I-95 parallels the east coast of the U.S.

They cant live in Fresh Water ... Whales are Salt water animals. There are fresh water dolphines but the are in the Amazon. Site is not real, and why would a whale watching site need to be 18 and over?

Now hold on a minute. I'm from brackish water country. We've had sharks, whales and dolphins in the Ogechee river which is fresh.

Kiz, you're scaring me. I use to waterski on the Ogeechee River right off of Hwy 17 there near Savannah. :)

That was in Frisco a few years ago. Whales sometimes go up river but either die or find their way back down river. Same with sharks except the bull shark if memory serves. The bull shark can survive in fresh water for quite some time.

Cono,

Remember where 17 crosses the Ogeechee river? Steel girder beam bridge? Well we use to climb up to the top of the girders and dive into the river. Love diving from high places. Highest I've ever dove from is 125'. And no not feet first.

The worst I was ever hurt water skiing was right about where you're talking about cono. Had a friend with a dual screw speed boat and was winging through a 270 turn at about 50 miles per hour on the boat. Of course winging way out on the outside of the turn, I was running in excess of 60 miles per hour. Hit a couple of small ripples, left ski nosed down and I did a split, tumbling about 3 turns before comming to an immediate stop in the water. Pulled shit I didn't even know I had. Without a life vest that day, I would have drowned. They had to pick me out of the water. I could not move.

Sniper, take note. Young kids do stupid shit like this all the time. And all kids do stupid shit when they are young. Just because I'm an old fart now doesn't mean I wasn't a stupid kid.
