Day 10- Gators!

On our way to Naples we stopped to switch drivers at a visitor’s center in Big Cypress National Preserve.  We decided to take Rt. 41 across Florida instead of the interstate and it was a much more pleasurable ride.  The wind was whipping though and the RV sail effect was evident…to bad it doesn’t act like a real sail and cut down on the gas consumption!  In Big Cypress National Preserve, we just happened to be there right before the ranger was giving a little talk about the gators.  It was really quite interesting and informative and we snagged the pictures below from the elevated deck.  This is as close as I want to get to these critters.

Just hanging at the Pool!

We learned they only feed 15-20 times a YEAR…hopefully they have eaten recently 🙂

We headed toward Naples and called our friends to make arrangements for tomorrow’s visit and they graciously asked us to come a day early.  It is great to be at the Lauer Resort complete with pool, spa and friendly faces.  Ray and Linda used to live in our neighborhood and welcomed us northerners with open arms.  AHHH, a bit of home.

Home Sweet Home till Sunday.

It is likely that I will post the next couple days together but rest assured we have arrived safely on the west coast of Florida.
