I am at Brazos Bend State Park in Texas, around 50 miles from Houston. It is made up of 5,000 acres of land with lakes, rivers, sloughs, and bayous and 21 miles of beautiful intersecting hiking/biking trails. There are only about 10 other rv’s presently staying here and it feels like we have the park to ourselves. I’m sure there will be more people over the weekend. It is a beautiful park. So glad to be where there is no need to drive anywhere.
Did I say I wanted to see alligators? There are beautiful trails that go around the lakes, like in the top picture. I passed an alligator off to the right of the trail, in the grass near the water. I walked by it without thinking much about it. Subsequently read where you should keep 30 feet away from them. In the afternoon I saw probably the same alligator, but this time he was wide awake, facing the trail with his teeth showing. Thought it best to turn around, as I would have to go within 6 feet of him to pass him.
