Do you see any gators there? Or do they not live in that area?

Yes it is ! Since my "babies" are not longer living in my living room I must observe them with a camera.You have a camera. They are awesome to have.
Usually I would route against the US as they beat the UK (same thing last year during the men’s World Cup) but as most of you friendly folks are from the US, I stand with the USA!!!Womens FIFA World Cup final just started...! Tune in. USA vs The Netherlands
The route looks long.Long hot day yesterday. We paddled 10.5 miles, half in pretty heavy swells 3-5 feet, but no breaking waves. It was calm when we started, but the open water crossings can really get churned up, especially in the afternoons when thunderstorms start rolling in.

No video of Badgers at play??? My heart is broken!!! Lol! I’m just jealous that you have such an establishment near you that you can help with![]()
Good luck at the in laws [emoji6]
We have a few but they are not thickly populated here like in other areas... I didn’t see any on this ride. There are a few other places we go where the water is smaller and the probability of sighting one is much higher.

Autocorrect probably knows how to spell that name...Yeh I could do that but..... youngsters my age can’t be bothered sometimes, we are extremely lazy![]()
Yeah, we Americans start to grow in you, after a while...Usually I would route against the US as they beat the UK (same thing last year during the men’s World Cup) but as most of you friendly folks are from the US, I stand with the USA!!!![]()
Little? Once it approaches four feet long, you don't call it little any more. It might get offended!....but when in Florida....a lot more of them to see. Here’s a little guy basking a few feet from my kayak as I went quietly by..

I’m not allowed my phone in use while at work![]()
Maybe when I have been there a bit longer, I’ll work out how strictly that’s enforced! I don’t want to push my luck just yet!
Same here. The article seems to home in on the Blanding's turtles, but I would be more concerned about the bog turtles, actually. Blanding's turtles aren't cheap, but they are available in the pet trade. Bog turtles are another story. That many spotted turtles is a bit disconcerting, too, given the circumstances.Hope this guy isnt a TFO member -

The authorities seized 292 animals, including two box and two painted turtles, six snapping turtles, six Gila monsters (a type of lizard), 17 bog turtles, 28 Blanding’s turtles, 53 wood turtles and 184 spotted turtles. Investigators also seized 20 boxes of turtle eggs.
Yeah but it’s to much effort to click the button.....only joking, it’s didnt come up surprisinglyAutocorrect probably knows how to spell that name...![]()
Yeah, you guys are alright i guessYeah, we Americans start to grow in you, after a while...![]()
Little guy. . . yeah, right! I guess you had your camera set on MAGNIFY!!!....but when in Florida....a lot more of them to see. Here’s a little guy basking a few feet from my kayak as I went quietly by..

That's about like what happened with me. The dishes rattled and that's about all. Then I heard there was an earthquake in a more southern state. Another time I was sitting cross legged on a chair visiting with family members. They all felt it but I didn't. They said it felt like a washing machine off balance. That was on the border of Ohio. But in the middle of Ohio once... My mother and I felt one. She started yelling at my younger brothers to stop jumping up and down upstairs. It was hilarious. For once they were innocent. From what I've read Ohio goes through a lot of them but not at the magnitude of when California goes through a biggy. I'm glad to see you didn't have to go through the worst of it.Last night I was sitting in my recliner and I thought Misty was licking herself and bumping my chair making it rock, so I poked her. Later as I watched the news I realized it was the 7.1 earthquake that was making my chair move. We're too far north of the epicenter for it to have caused any problems here where I am.
