5 years ago, wife got me a trip we made to Key West, and after that tour witch was first for both of us, we left Homestead, just south of Miami, last town before the Keys/bridges.....and headed west picked up the swamp highway, otherwise known as the Tamiami Trail....sp? and along there we stopped at an airboat place, good size, lots of parking, and there on the way to the tour boats on the swamp.....was this gator, posted up on a wall....damn thing was over TWO STORIES TALL.....as usual, wife and I up front in these tour boats, call me a bow rider......and so on way back in after the trip, he slowed down one hell of a lot, turns out the operator spotted a ~8' gator ahead of us, and he didn't want to take a chance on hitting it with the prop.....
We follow the trail straight ahead until the Gulf coast shore......took some pix, then headed north......took almost a week for the entire loop.....just one day walking KW though...but we got an EARLY start, and so made all the sites.....
