Just kidding

There are gaters there. We could hear one hissing right behind my campsite last year at night. I haven't seen one yet.
On another note I was sitting in my backyard on saturday and a fisherman caught a 3' gator about 50' from my dock. First time I have seen that since I lived here. I didn't know they were in there.
Mike and Brenda asked the question I wasn't going to- what's that gator on the map for.... I'm a big wimp about things like that. Wish we had a campsite on the other side of the campground!!
One of my family of cousins who live in Tampa had a...don't know what it would be called. A little lake or... there was a body of water in their neighborhood that ran between the backyards.
They used to get alligators - from tiny ones to little dog lovers. Think 13' or so was the biggest.
Always seemed funny when they told about it.
My little Sami dog has a bad rear leg so I have a stroller (a dog one) for going on long walks. Was going to just keep him with me in it anyway.
Sami is not a beagle but you get the implications...
I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE LAUGHING AT US!!!

If you camp where there is a new element like this you just have to learn about it so it remains nothing. But ignorance can get pretty painful. I'll just watch some more gator 'wrasselin' so I'm ready for the very unlikely.
Wonder what lowering the lake has done to the poor gators. Sent them packing or made them hungry?

One Lake Bistineau site reported the lake would be lowered on July 15 to help combat the Giant ummm whatever it is called. Plant life. Boat concession was closed till the lake would be determined safe for boating.
