Default Lake Miona Rec Center Retention Pond

On my morning walk I enter the pond area through the opening on the Buena Vista side of the pond, and travel along the fence to my left, next to the nature(?) area. There is a large bush/tree about 150 yards or so in, directly next to the fence. At 7am this morning there was a 6/7 foot gator resting at the back side of this bush next to the fence. Scared the bejesus out of me, as I was about 6 feet away from it when I passed the bush. I took a photo, but could not figure out how to load it from my phone.

I see many people walking their dogs around this pond; be careful.
