in choosing all the places we chose six counties recovered, sarasota, charlotte, lee, collier, whateverou do is contact a tourist and visitor's convention bureau and asked them if they were writing the book, what would they cover? as kind of an alternative i contacted all of the organizations and asked them what was your cover? we've got to hit the beach with one of the most beautiful beaches in all of southwest florida. there's no development, which makes it so wonderful because it just the beach and the bush and the trees and is also excellent for shelling. second only to senate bill island and all of fort myers area. and then we are going to go back and hopefully see some alligators back off one of the trails there's an alligator pond will visit as well. we are still on my first key and kind of on the backwoods trail and we have the alligator pond. behind me i should be paying attention here, or seven alligators. one rather large mound in the corner and six little babies ranging in size from two feet to three feet. this is one of the only accessible freshwater pond on the island yet
