Alligator hunting

Today was a day to just relax, sit outside (yes, sunny and 75) and grocery shop, getting ready for our move tomorrow. Dave and I went alligator hunting (looking). There are 2 alligators in one of the ponds here and another in the front pond as you come into the campground. We found Alli but never saw Gator in the near pond. And we did see a really big one in the front pond, he was sleeping underwater and so we just watched it for a few minutes, then left. That one was kinda scary - was big.

Late afternoon we walked down the boardwalk to the river, sat on the boat landing and watched the world go by. We did see a pontoon boat motor on by, so that was exciting (yeah - little things thrill us!). When we got back to the RV and were sitting talking we heard a number of boats' engines as they were going up the river. Probably were down in the Gulf fishing all day and were headed back.

Tomorrow we head to Lakeland Florida. Will be there only 2 days, leaving Tuesday for Lake Okeechobee and a town at the bottom called Clewiston. We hope to be there a week. Have already contacted our family that we will be within 1 hour drive of her, and will be getting ahold of our friends who are living on their boat in Fort Myers. We also want to look at a sail boat for friends who are looking at a particular boat and we won't be far from it. Hopefully when we pack up and go it won't be in the rain!
