I have spent some time at Sea Pines and encountered a few alligators there. This was back in the 1980s. It was a beautiful place and contained a lot of wildlife, or at least it did back then. From the article the woman lived there.

I've been there a couple of times and fortunately did not see any gators. Will have to be cautious from now on. :l

Walking a dog along an alligator's domain is like chumming the waters.

Oh geeze, I'm sorry. What came up when I first clicked on the link was different than when I went back to see it. My bad.


So tragic.
