Make Way For The Gator
Make way for the Gator! After giving a low guttural call and a few minutes later, this gator was on the move. I had heard the gator and knew that it was close by. I saw a lady start to look deep into the grasses saying she thought she saw something moving. I said yep, it's a gator and you need to move back NOW! Sure enough the big fellow came right out walking with a purposeful stride and crossed the trail with a few feet of us. Without a sense of hesitation, he crossed over and into the wetlands on the other side of the trail. Point well taken to know your surrounding and watch carefully for each step you take.
