" 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!

Best luck,
Doug

Re: [meteorite-list] Mexico Doug Okay? (Alligator Tips for Meteorite Hunters)

2016-04-30 Thread MexicoDoug via Meteorite-list
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

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
