SEA RIM STATE PARK, Texas —<\/strong> We have just been advised that we are living for a couple of days among one of God’s more fearsome creatures.<\/p>\n

A Texas Parks & Wildlife ranger informs us that this state park, right on the Gulf of Mexico, is home to at least one alligator.<\/p>\n

She described him as a 5-footer — with three legs. “Do you suppose he lost his leg in a fight with another gator?” I asked. She didn’t know.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter. I am going to presume the gator still gets around just fine. He inhabits a certain RV campsite, No. 10. “He’s there sometimes,” said the TP&W ranger.<\/p>\n

Good to know.<\/p>\n

So, with that I’ll inform you — and we’ve already told Toby the Puppy — that we ain’t going anywhere near the site. We’ll stay close to our fifth wheel for the time we’re here.<\/p>\n

The gimpy gator — and those who park their RV there — can have it all to themselves.<\/p>\n\n
