Re: RC: snakes & Gators



The Osceola forest can get deep when you get a "tropical deluge" - 4 five inches
of rain in a couple of hours.  That happened one Nov at a ride there.  The only
place there wasn't knee to belly deep water by noon where on the raised clay
forest service roads.  Well this woman confronted a gator that lay accross on of
these roads that just happened to also be the trail.  Well the gator was not
going to give up his dry spot, spun and hissed at the the horse.  No one was
hurt but there was one very unhappy horse, rider and gator involved.

Yep the moccains can be a real problem.

Do it at night and shine the light on those two big red eyes swimming toward
you.  Enough to scare a yankee back up Nawth for good.
