Ok, I'm getting there. Now I can add this to using the word "your vs you're". My sentence structure is also very week, I mean weak and I capitalize words at the wrong time. Extremely terrible sentence and paragraph structure also. I went to work to help my mom just before high school graduation when my dad passed so I r doing my bestestest.

Hey while we are sharing what has become of 2BNTV & ASIANTHREE & RICKEYD, BIGPOPPA and several other people who posted regularly? I wonder why they stopped sharing and I do miss the fun that they brought to TOTV'S in their own unique way. St, Croix, I truly love your quick wit and thoughtfulness when you post, in NJ we would call you a ****er and that's a good thing. I think one of those people I mentioned was eliminated for being a Nudge. Why do so many people just go poof on this site???? Thin skin or smart cookies????

We live near Brownwood, have looked for 'Larry' several times, and have not seen him. Went on Wild Bill's air boat ride 2 days ago, and saw several alligators. Hint call ahead and ask for the best time to go, the heat of the day drives them into the water, and they only come up occasionally for air. Also at Wild Bills, they have tank and for $3 you get to hold a small (2 foot) gater and take pictures. This would guarantee your visitors will see some wild life.

Gators sightings are sporadic but I've seen a few. Try Gatorland in Orlando, it's a hoot.

There is one place I've seen a gator almost everytime I've gone there and the record was 5 at one time, but you have to be playing golf. At Cane Garden, Allamanda nine there is 2 connected ponds of water around holes 5, 6, 7 and 8 and there is a bridge at one point that you will cross over. I've seen as many as 5 in that area but that was a couple of years ago. Usually always see one, but last week when I played that nine I didn't see any. Those who live in the area of Liberty Park Neighborhood Pool and Allamanda Rec Center would probably know best. Here they are on the map.

If you take a trip to the Clearwater-Tarpon Springs area near the Gulf Coast of Florida, Lake Tarpon has a large number of gators.

I haven't happened to see any alligators there, but this is a nice place to take visitors by golf cart
It is Sharon Rose Wiechens Preserve off Moyer Loop

See beautiful photos here

Took this photo at LSL about 2 weeks ago. S(he) had a friend but it was too far out to photograph. This was by Gators (seriously) Restaurant.

Thanks for the help.
P.S. we don't plan on taking a close up photo.
If you find one, don't feed it. It is against Florida law and it is an arrestable offense.
