Greetings, Stephen here. Today was probably the most scenic. Wide open fields with patches of palm trees here and there. We saw 113 gators, 2 of which were dead. 5-6 bald eagles, and a ton of cows. We're camping on an old Indian shell mound tonight. Goodnight!
Camped on the great mound. Super tired...but day 3 is in the bag.

Fighting those waves made me feel like I was reenacting the perfect storm. And when we made it to the large patch of tall grass that I thought was the end of the lake, Daniel informed us that we were only halfway done. We spotted 54 gators and 2 bald eagles today! Goodnight.

Thanks to all the good vibes you all are sending us, a wind in our favor helped us along the way. Keep them coming! I couldn't have asked for better weather. we spotted 51 gators today.

e planned 9 to give us some time to explore, but we'll see how tomorrow treats us. Sounds like there's some low water ahead! Good night everybody!
