Gator in Pottsburg Creek

A Couple months ago while walking Charlie I heard that distinctive sound of a gator going into the water, thud thud thud splash. Then from the dock I could see its head in the water, it was no bigger than my hand, OK so I can continue to walk my beagle sown by the water with no fear. Well maybe I should be scared again, I received a call from Kieth one of my neighbors that has a lovely 2nd floor view of the river to say there was a huge Gator in Pottsburg Creek. He had swam right by the dock and went back into Little Pottsburg Creek. I caught up with him on the bridge.
