The pictures of Hillsborough River State Park look tropical and lush. It's a nice respite to visit you from this windy cold day in CO! I rode the lift with a guy from Tampa this week and thought of you. Have you been skiing this year? We are low on snowpack, but we still get out there most days! Hope you and Family are well.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920981506733494474.post-26672629385981852652013-02-16T04:30:59.087-08:002013-02-16T04:30:59.087-08:00Hi Carole,

Alligators do seem to be much more tolerant of humans than crocodiles are, especially if I am to believe the way your "salt water crocs" are portrayed on television documentaries here in the States.<br /><br />Alligators inhabit literally every body of water in the state where I live, including ponds in the middle of big cities, and people are accustomed to seeing them frequently. It is rare to hear of one harming a person, except when said person does something antagonizing or foolish - like hold meat in his hand at water level trying to attract a gator, and "succeeding" when his hand gets carried away with the meat (a true story from last year).<br /><br />JohnJDShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05360470068860788678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920981506733494474.post-82366222305740022232013-02-15T12:15:29.907-08:002013-02-15T12:15:29.907-08:00enjoyed this post but I wonder camping out .. and ...enjoyed this post but I wonder camping out .. and the 'teems' of alligators; not an issue? I thought your 'about me' was going to tell me a story of one day when you did face an encounter....
