1.) Not in a million years would you catch me alive here.
2.) this is my brother ... the adventurer.
3.) Notice over his right shoulder (left as you look at the picture).

I'm crawling in my skin.

COOL PIC! Where's that at? I actually have some sort of um...obsession with gators. For real. (And not the kind that play basketball, Holly!) When I was in New Orleans, I looked EVERYWHERE for them, and when I lived in Florida, it was like, a freakin' hobby.

How cool is that!!  Although that is about as close as I would want to get to a monster like that.

When I worked at the zoo back home, one of my areas was the alligators.  Of course we only had little ones, and they wanted to keep it that way.  They were only about 4-5 feet at the time.  You had to watch your back when mowing or weedwacking.

That's a great pic.  I'm a bit prejudiced though.  I am training our Chinese Alligator and Broad-nosed Caiman at work.  They aren't as big as that guy but still awesome.  Of course I also work in our venomous exhibit so I could be a bit insane.  Brazos Bend State Park is a nice place.  Michael and I camped out at Caddo Lake and we got to listen to the alligator's bellow.  It was great.

Well, I probably wouldn't have been sitting there...I'd be over trying to pet the gator.  I go hunting for them in the bayous in the summer.  You know, stake out the slides and hunt for nests and stuff.  I love em.  There's a gator farm not a mile from my house and I think it's fabulous!
