Hi everybody, I have been to Florida probably 35 times in my life, and I have never been on an airboat. I thought it was just about time I finally did..
As you can see we are on beautiful Cypress Lake, the land surrounding this body of water, just South of Kissimmee, is all a protected wet-lands. Because of that, there are no homes on the lake and it looks very desolate. The airplane engine was so loud that you had to wear protective ear gear.
The tree in the 3rd pic is a 400 year old Cypress Tree, the 4th pic is a whole bunch of baby gators, possibly as many as 16. But I apologize for the piss poor quality of my camera phone, it's all I had. You have to look closer like a 'Where's Waldo' thing...sorry.
The last pic is a little easier to make out the big 10 footer in the middle of the shot..
All in all it was very enjoyable, I highly recommend it.
Bear with me, just 2 more installments...
Peace...!
eat my dust...!
ReplyDeleteoh, er, sorry,
where are my manners???
Second ... darn!
ReplyDeleteI love it. It would be fun to not only get a ride on an air boat but to pilot one. Probably no one crazy enough to allow that however.
ReplyDeleteHey you got the picture even if it is not super. If you look hard you can see at least three gators in the one shot. The second one is much easier to see.
You mean the air boat was not power by a Harley somehow? Gasp.
That tree is way kinds of coolness.
ReplyDeleteI could stare at it for hours.
Awesome pic.
My fave of the bunch.
That air boat looks like it would be a BLAST!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat tree is pretty amazing. You can keep the gaters though...lol!!!
XO
I agree with Strump, that tree is way narley.
ReplyDeleteJust two more installments??!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks!
We want more!
Nice pictures.
ReplyDeleteI don't see any baby alligators...
ReplyDeleteGalen. I Don't ride hogs, I am riding horses these days...
funny that it took you that long to decide to take an airboat ride. then again i've been there probably 10 times and never took a ride.
ReplyDeleteI've only been to Fla once and I got to ride on an air boat...nanny nanny boo boo!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that tree is 400 years old in comparison to a Redwood's size. Pretty cool!
Are you trying to take the croc hunter's place? ;)
ReplyDeleteCypress Trees are such fantastic little trees. They are so unique!!
I have never been to FL, but I'm going next summer with Pitty-Pat and Scuba Steve. :)
