" Oatmeal cream pies and strawberry treat cakes" Hi Sonny and all, Yep, Little Debbie branded treats were a life preserver, even if less sugar and fiber and more protein will be in the pack for next time! I really appreciate your comments Sonny and bet you could relate to what was running through my head there, probably more than me :-) As I found mine, I learned you were in Texas at the latest strewnfield, rolling the dice and busting your butt. I still expected you to show up with a volunteer fire brigade to show up any minute!

Re: [meteorite-list] Mexico Doug Okay? (Alligator Tips for Meteorite Hunters)
Hi Mike, Ed and all, Thanks for the nice notes I received from a bunch of you who wrote me about my accident and wishing me well. Just to say after 7 weeks, I was able to stand up a few days ago. Today I began walking in a gradual rehabilitation so things are now looking up. I expect a complete recovery now, hopefully sooner than the 13 week estimate. Also I wrote up the Osceola #7 finally as I promised I would. It'll be on MPOD today with some of what happened to me while hunting in the swamp and wet pinelands till I got hurt. The hunt meant a lot, but being alone and isolated, a lot of crazy things happened there as you can read about. I wanted to thank Paul so much for hosting my story, and all the work he puts into his MPOD site in general which was something to look forward to while trying to get better. Ed wrote: "Certainly the real life adventures of you meteorite hunters should interest viewers." Hope you enjoy the story, Ed, and that people enjoy reading too ;-) Kindest wishes Doug -Original Message- From: Galactic Stone & IronworksTo: MexicoDoug Cc: epgrondine ; meteorite-list Sent: Thu, Apr 21, 2016 2:00 pm Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Mexico Doug Okay? (Alligator Tips for Meteorite Hunters) Hi Doug and List, There are large reptiles of the maneater variety within the confines of Osceola National Forest, and specifically the Big Gum Swamp. The further in you go off the beaten path, the wilder it gets. For anyone considering searching this swamp for meteorites, refer to this handy list of tips regarding alligators. I posted this in a fossil forum, but it applies to anywhere in Florida : --- Some words of general advice about alligators from a long-time Florida resident and outdoors enthusiast. Some of this is common sense and some of it is based on experience. Alligators are the subject of much needless fear, and I want to try to alleviate the fears of my fellow fossil (meteorite!) hunters. First, unprovoked attacks are extremely rare. Consider how many alligators there are in Florida, and then consider how many people hunt, fish, hike, swim, and engage in watersports in Florida. Your chances of having an alligator select you at random for an attack are very very remote. Most alligator attacks on humans involve some form of provocation or proximity to prey behavior. If you see an alligator, just move away from it and do not taunt or harass it. There is no need to slap your paddle on the water, shout at it, or throw things at it. If you are in a boat, just keep moving along. If you are wading in the water or swimming, get out of the water without panicking. Do not exhibit prey behavior - that means no splashing around. Having splash fights is for kids in swimming pools, not adults in a river. Alligators are attracted to prey behavior such as splashing and they may investigate the source of the noise. Do not bring your dog into the river. It's just a bad idea. Dogs like to splash around and are generally clueless about gators. Leave the dog at home or at the campground. Do not allow your kids to frolick and splash in the river - it is viewed as prey behavior. Do not throw food, fish scrap, or bait into the water. This one is common sense, but bears repeating. Baby alligators are cute and more colorful than the adults. Resist the urge to approach them or linger in their vicinity. Mama gators are notoriously protective and take a dim view of humans near their babies. If you see baby alligators, avoid them. Snap a quick photo if you must, but don't hang around. And certainly don't go into the water anywhere near them, because mama is certainly nearby. This is the only exception to the "unprovoked attack" rules - any human presence near the nest or babies is considered a provocation by mama. Just keep moving along. If the babies become alarmed, they will start making noises and mama will come quickly. If the babies start fussing - get out of there. Stay out of "gatory" areas - fallen trees in the river might snag and collect fossils, but they are also choice areas for alligator nests. Search the rootball on the banks, but stay out of the submerged area of the tree top. This is probably an overabundance of caution, but why tempt fate by hanging around areas that are attractive to gators? Areas of the river that are busy with activity are generally free of alligators. Lots of boat activity and noise will deter gators. They generally avoid these areas. Your chances of being attacked near the main boat ramp of a busy park is almost zero. Alligators are most active at night - stay out of the river at night. A midnight skinny dip might seem romantic, but you may end up in a less-than-romantic situation. If you are absolutely terrified of alligators, fossil hunt when temperatures are cold. Gator activity is
