 Where are the alligators? 
 They are around - there was a lot of boat traffic nearby.  That was in Silver Springs State Park near Ocala.  I have seen them piled up tight other places.  Myakka River State Park down near Sarasota has "a lot" but they are all around Florida waterways. 
 what is Ichetucknee 
 No.  It is the Silver River at silver springs state park but relatively close. We actually saw a Manatee there - which seems weird for this time of year. 
 oh any monkeys? 
 we didn't see any this time.  I have seen them before. 
 heard they were still there. we have an island of their cousins just north of us. 
 Looks like blue springs.
