I hope you didn't buy any of the red painted dowels they sell to the tourists Any alligator pics? One ate a nutria while I was there....very cool!
You are right. Most people just drove through or maybe got out and looked at just the immediate area. There are a few trails here and there that are worth walking down.
I did'nt think to take pictures of the alligators. I see them so much around here I guess I take them for granted.
