He's a licensed Coast Guard captain and does a fabulous eco-tour. He knows where all the good gator hideouts are, does a great job of identifying the many birds you'll see in the area. He and Eileen have been friends of ours for years - were our next door neighbors in AL when we still had a stick and brick house. http://www.airboatecotours.com/ Say hi for us to Captain Rick if you see him.

There's a bunch of places where the alligators hang out. And it's a real nice ride into and out of some very interesting habitat.

If it's empty go sit at the edge of the pad overlooking the water. Look to your left across the water. A BIG alligator suns himself there on a regular basis. You don't need your binocs, but take them if you have them. He's awesome! Nick, if you want to see an alligator right there in TGO, go to site #132.

Please keep posting. Re: Alligators As a life long resident of Florida, go to Myakka State Park. It is located 9 miles due west of Sarasota, onthe west coast of Florida. . You can camp or day trip through the park. You will see more alligators in the wild there than in the Everglades. I lived just north of the Everglades for 30 years. You won't even need to get out of your car if you don't want to. About halfway through the park is a small bridge. You can go there ANY time of day and see at least 6 or more gators. We have been camprgound hosts there for a few years, and NEVER failed to see alligators. Nick,
