I was there in April and the stars were incredible—can’t stop thinking about them. Loved the video footage of your canoe ride and unexpected guest!

Let’s go back this fall? The new moon is around the first of Nov and would be a good time.

So interesting! I’ve always wanted to go! That gator was HUGE! ( Loved the narrated video clip with Fred)!

I want to go back this fall and take a full day east to west trip. Not ready for camping though. Go with me?

Wow! Can't wait for your next installment. Maybe I need some tannin for all these mosquitoes I have too!

Loved this! Saw lots of gators when I was there back in January 2012 I think. We camped on one of the platforms. I won't ever forget the soundscape!

I like the idea of camping on the platforms (they call them chickees) but I'm also a little wary because I'm not much of a camper. But I would try. We should try it together.

We visited in February and hardly saw gators at all. The ranger said they stay in the water on cold days.

Dougie, there are 15,000 alligators in that swamp. You need to go back. Let's go in October?
