The park was absolutely packed.
Lots if Canadian tourists...And strangely (to me) a lot of Japanese.
The trail is 7 miles long. After about 5 miles, my "bionic" knee went out. Then it was all stop and rest.....push and walk and some slow and deliberate pedaling. I thought I'd never make it back to the truck.
Kelly was a good sport.
Lots of gators out today.
Including a nine footer that we had to stop for in the road.
I had no energy left to wrestle an adult Aligator. So I yielded to the creature.
What a nice day.
What a great workout.

Nice Grey Heron - we get those here. We don’t get the gators though :D

I also saw a gigantic soft shelled turtle and a rattlesnake.
Sorry NO pictures of them.
A rattlesnake in the road is actually more of a threat than an alligator.
Alligators really don't want to be bothered with people. People generally give a gator some room to pass through. People get bitten by snakes because a lot of them have some stupid reaction to seeing one....They want to kill it.
Not a lot of folks want to get a stick and start whacking at a gator....The biggest danger would be if someone tries to grab a baby. When the babies are making those chirping noises, they are talking to Momma. And she's probably looking right out you. Not yet visible.

Happy Boxing Day All. Yesterday we had christmas with hubbies family. Roast potatoes. Cauliflower and broccoli. Gammon and roast beef. Prawns for starters and tirimisu for desert. Today we had christmas with my side of the family. Crumbed stuffed mushrooms 4 starters. Roast chicken. Gammon roast pork. Potatoes. Cauliflower and broccoli and tirimisu for desert. I don't want to see food for a week again so stuffed and can"t eat anymore. Back to work tomorrow. From the posts it looks like everybody had a good Christmas. I hope the rest of the week is as good for everyone.
It sounds that you are really fed .....:D:D:D

Gators are pretty mellow.
Crocodiles are making a comeback and they are to be taken very seriously.
But we didn't see any today.
I stated off with 50 crocs in my park in Thailand.
Ended up with thousands of 'em.
Killed one of my staff, invaded neighbouring regions and ate all the sheep and goats.
Lovely animals, but quite a menace

Yep. They make gators seem like puppy dogs.

Good morning all.

It’s wet, windy, wet, miserable and wet here in Kent. It’s also raining.

There seems to be snow falling in other parts of the UK, but I think the likelihood of us getting any is slim.

Sounds miserable. [emoji19]
...and damp.
