He is full of shit - I never gave anyone the map, including the State. He has no idea where Cherokee is on my map , but I know where all of his becons are ( seen them underwater ) on his map and all of the surface points. The funny thing about this lying scumbag is that he is basicly calling himself a liar since he claims one distance and I know where they actually went - shy of cherokee! How about that for a liar calling himself a liar, and trying to shift it off. The fact is this moron tried to take me on and lost, and killed Henry Kendall in the process - and lied about that and got caught in that lie by the Miami Herald ( thank you Susan Cocking ) .
