Alligators Oh My….

Today I took Route 41 from Florida City over to Naples, Florida.  I thought this was the road that they called alligator alley, but that Route 75.  I followed water all the way, and multiple time I could see alligators sunning themselves along the shoreline.  As I was driving I kept see birds with their wings out, and I was trying to figure out what they were doing, were they protection a nest, or babies?  I stopped at a rest area, they had information boards about the wildlife.  The birds are Anhingas, they dive and swim underwater to spear their prey.  After they eat, they spread their wings to dry their feathers and use the sun to warm their bodies.

While riding, I saw a road sign that read Panthers…. made me a little nervous!  Route 41 is mainly wooded and swamps.  This was a nice ride, not much traffic!  If you are interested in doing airboat rides, both ends of 41 have multiple businesses that offer this.    Someday I will get my nerves up to do one, as I would love to ride in an airboat.  Just not to sure about the areas they take you, too confined!

Love and Light to you all!
