I took Frodo to the Everglades yesterday

Get any pictures with those watery 'fell beasts'?

hehehehe....

Sure did. My daughter nearly had a heart attack because I stood right next to one while it was sunning itself on the bank of a canal. He wasn't that bad though...maybe about 6-7 feet.

I wasn't scared and Frodo's feet were less than 4 inches from the beastie's tail. :-)

Alligators look scary, but they are generally very passive. The only danger is wading into the water close to a nesting spot. I highly recommend that folks who come to Miami visit Everglades National park and ride or walk through Shark Valley.

I mean, where else in the world can you walk or ride your bike right up to wild alligators? There was a gator every 5 feet or so on the trail, since it was so sunny and warm yesterday.
