Greg, I was thinking of the more inland courses. Then again, maybe you
were too.

There are plenty of 'gators inland as long as there is some water
around, and there's a lot of that in Florida. They are not salt water
critters although they're OK with brackish.

There was a 12 footer in Sanibel when I lived there and he hung out at
the beach across the street from my house (between the Hilton, now
Sanibel inn and the Tortuga Beach Club)
The gulf was no problem from him. That was also the gator that ate ice
cream and hot dogs at the Dairy Queen. They would send Bird Westal out
to get him and take him back over to the Ding Dong preserve. Sanibel
was a "no kill, no relocate off the island" alligator place in those
days.

It was all good fun until a few years ago when he ate a real estate
woman. He is a suitcase now.


We all know that rednecks, not gators, are indigenous to south Florida
and that the interlopers should be rounded up and shot. :)

'Crackers' are indigenous to Florida. Rednecks are from Georgia, home of all that beautiful, red,
Georgia clay.

Leave it to Krause to start up with the insults and derogatory remarks.


I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He may not have realized just how derogatory the name is.
