    That's pretty cool. The bear could easily out run you guys on the trikes, through the tighter trails that is, would that be correct ?

    I'm not so sure I would of hung around ?

    Great pics !

    I see your avatar pic is by water, do guys ever see any crocidiles or is it alligators you have or both?

    crocs are rare and only seen in very south fla.gators are all over the place.I see them all the time when I am on my standup jet skies.when I tried to get close to the bear it turned and started to walk toward me.thats when I made a fast retreat.he was having a great time playing in that little mudhole.he seemed to enjoy us watching.The bear population is thriving down here.

    Sweet, hope the tree huggers dont shut the place down to protect yogee. We have some small sugar bears around here but I have been here for 25 years and only seen 2.

    DAM!! I don't like the fact that I've almost clocked into a few deer around here. Definately wouldn't want to come up on that big *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**E dited*, If I ran into him I'd probably fall off and he'd eat me, LOL....
