day 6 at Gulf Shores

We had quite a storm last night that came in from the gulf. News reports say that south winds are pushing the oil toward the coast around this area... hope it will change directions and protect this beach.. too pretty.

We finally checked out the local gator that hangs around the drainage ditch across the street from where we are camped. Cookie Mamma saw it yesterday and came back with stories of a near death experience - some jerk had grabbed the gator by the tail and aggravated it.

This morning I went over there and sure enough there was a gator about 6' long guarding the foot bridge over the ditch. He made lots of hissing and aggressive moves ... so I'll give this one to Cookie.

You'll notice that we decide to pose with a much tamer one at the corner store:)
