Traveling alone, not lonely.

Wordless Wednesday: One Gator, Two Gators, Three Gators, Four…Babcock Wilderness Adventures

Reflections During Eco-Buggy Tour at Babcock Wilderness Adventures

Earlier this week I was back out at Babcock Wilderness Adventures in Punta Gorda, Florida, for a meeting which included a tour of the working cattle ranch and Telegraph Swamp. I never get tired visiting the place and always spot something new. Having lived more than three years in Everglades National Park, I have a thing for alligators and was shocked at how many I saw during the Babcock trip.

How many gators can you spot in this shot?
