Any OBers from Florida ever been to the Coral Castle (Rock Gate Park)? I've got this one on my bucket list.

The builder of this coral castle really has me intrigued, especially with some of the statements in the link below... "equipped with only hand tools and a fourth grade education", "that he could make something of himself despite his poverty level and his lack of formal education".

Then the mind-blowers... "always worked under the cover of night and by only the light of a lantern when nobody could watch him, making it impossible to know just how he completed his mammoth project", "two teenagers did happen to witness the construction, and they later told the police that rocks were levitating in mid-air like hydrogen balloons", "Leedskalnin also claimed to use no mortar, yet no light can pass through where the stones meet".
