road blocks ....

La Chua Trail
April 2014
..
conditions  on  the  trail  have  shortened  my 
  3  mile  ( roundtrip  ) walk.

some  visitors  have  waded  across
 the  flooded  trail...
but  not me .!!
...
Sweetwater  trail  ( just  off the  main walk at La Chua )
seemed  like  an  alternative...
water  level  there is much lower  and  steeper banks
along  the side  of the trail ..
but..
a different type of  block 

enjoying  the  morning  sun
and..
back at the gateway to the main trail
another  obstacle....

finally .....
just   before  the  boardwalk...

a  young  gator..
perhaps searching  for  his  mom ....
I certainly looked  for  her...
they are  very  protective  of their  young.
