 Hey guys
 
Where on the GHT have there been gator sightings?  I am curious especially considering that R2R is this coming Sat. and for those planning on doing the century, the last 7 miles or so is getting on the GHT off of Angle Rd and going back into Boulware.  Please advise.
 
Thanks,
Allen

I encountered a gator last week on the GHT (around 10:00 am).  The gator raised its head and hissed at me.  No tire biting but it certainly did surprise me and I can easily imagine falling under similar circumstances if riding at night.

What I got out of paper story is dude riding 9pm, alligator gets scared and moves as he rides by.  He gets scared (understandably), and crashes.

Riding at 9pm out there, could happen with almost any animal in path.

All:

Does anyone (anyone at all) have any factual information about the alleged alligator incident on the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail on Sunday, as reported in the SUN this morning?  It seems to be shrouded in mystery, but if real it is of considerable importance to the Trail.

Please send any hard information my way.

Thanks,

George Edwards, Captain
