The set is $24 I've used their maps of other routes. They're not absolutely perfect (we found a few minor errors) but they were still excellent. They make navigating and planning much, much easier. Absolutely worth the money. - Frank Krygowski |

Blackwater's ecology is above pure white dune sand. And the sources are unpolluted. No gators below Kennedy Bridge that I saw. Water is like weak red zinger tea flowing thru sand dunes under a forest canopy- some Atlantic white cedar. http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gwt/guide...lack_river.htm the gators are in the St Johns below Lake George - check that out in Google Earth |

THIS JUST IN... April's warming temperatures typically signal the return of lifeguards, an influx of spring-breakers and hungry, amorous alligators sometimes looking for love in all the wrong places. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials say their phones have been ringing more as worried residents call about wandering gators or new additions to their backyard ponds. "This time of year, the alligators are more active than they've been," said Joy Hill, commission spokeswoman. "We're approaching mating season, the weather has gotten warmer, and they are setting up feeding territories. We normally get more calls at this time of the year." Two days before a Pinellas County woman came home to find an 8-foot alligator resting on her kitchen floor, Viera resident Linda Ozzello called to complain about a gator getting too comfortable near a paved walking path. The 8- or 9-foot alligator resting in the retention pond near Ozzello's Osprey Landing home wasn't bothering anyone. But the pond lies near a path that children take to Ralph Williams Elementary so Ozzello and her neighbors didn't want to take a chance. They called authorities but were surprised to learn it could be a week before a trapper investigates. "It really took me aback when they said it could take up to seven days," Ozzello said. "I sure would hate to have something happen to one of those little kids between now and when the trapper comes out." But Hill said that is the typical response time for nonemergency calls. "Alligators in the kitchen are an exception. Those are calls we respond to immediately," she said. "Other calls, where maybe an alligator is hanging around or gets close to a walking path, would not necessarily be emergency calls." Hill explained that nonemergency response time includes contacting a trapper, issuing a permit and then getting the trapper to fit the capture into his schedule. She also downplayed the likelihood of an attack away from the water's edge. "They may cross through someone's yard or across a path but it is unlikely that gator would be there to ambush a person," she said. Ozzello worries that in the heat of the spring gator mating season, the reptiles could be more rambunctious. "I just wasn't happy with the response we got, knowing what season this is and the type of area we live in," she said. Linda Collins with the Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program said she has not seen a drastic increase in the number of calls to her office. "We've seen a normal rate of increase for this time of year," she said. In 2006, 11,661 nuisance alligators were harvested statewide, up from 9,134 in 2005, according to the program's Web site. Alligators were responsible for three deaths in two weeks in Gainesville, Pinellas County and in South Florida in 2006. One person was killed last year swimming across a canal while trying to escape police in the Miami area. Staff Writer James Dean contributed to this report. |
