Taking a break from the SHOT show... Gatorland 09
« on: January 18, 2009, 07:12:31 PM »
I'm sitting in the airport awaiting my flight back to the frozen wasteland of Michigan... so, I figured I would post a couple of pictures from our trip to Gatorland on Saturday.  Def and I had an amazing time there, all thanks to our resident Gator Wrestler "Latino Heat" (aka Doggy Guru)

Thank you Johnny!  We had a great time!


Here's Def and I INSIDE the pen with Chester... a 13 and a half foot 1000lb alligator. 





Johnny posing with the real star of Saturday's Gator wrestling show...  (the Leathermans)



Afterwards, Def and I both tried our hands at a little Gator wrestling.





At the end of an excellent day, we couldn't resist to take one more picture :D



Def and I both have a lot more pictures from our day at Gatorland that we'll post when we can...

I agree.  This is the only gator I feel comfortable being in the same room with:

Even with all three of us together we were well short of Chester's weight class!

Man that was a great trip... that alone would have been worth the trip to Florida, even if the SHOT Show wasn't here!  We have lots of great pics (and some video!) as Mike said, and I'll try and get some posted soon.  The show is just ending, I'm back at the hotel and trying to eat breakfast... and it's 4:10pm!  :P

Johnny, yoodaman!  That was an amazing experience, and a great show.  Truly a top notch attraction and I'm glad we not only got to see it, but also to meet you in person!

That's the one... not that it did me any good.  Did you know that large reptiles were impervious to 154cm?  I didn't...
