From mile 115 to mile 143 is where we saw the most wildlife. It was this stretch where we had a friendly wager with Bella Luna on who would see the first alligator, bald eagle and manatee for the day and it was also this area where we saw so many alligators we finally just stopped counting. We saw small little guys of about two feet long to some huge maybe eleven foot long ones.

We thought this was a unique idea. A sports car on top of a pontoon boat (above-right). That sure is one way to get across the river and have immediate transportation when you get there.
