A few years ago we were staying at Rodman Campground south of Palatka, Florida for a couple of weeks. A couple pulled in on a Friday evening and parked their TT on the site next to us. After hooking up the electric and water, setting the stabilizers, running out the slides and awnings, they proceeded to unload a large BBQ, a smoker, a couple of kayaks, and assorted other gear from their truck including a sizable supply of firewood. By the time they were done, it was full dark and they went into the TT for the night. We fully expected they were there for the full 14 days allowed, but after spending Saturday sitting around their camp fire until evening, on Sunday morning they reversed the whole process, loading up and pulling out just minutes before the 11 am park departure time. My wife and I just shook our heads and said, "Wow!".
I had gator several times when in the Everglades. I like it a lot. Here is the menu for the place below.
My camping buddy frequently carries a small chest type freezer with him on trips to the coast. They have to have a place to put the fish they catch. This is at Dauphin Island Alabama. I later saw in the campground rules that no freezers were allowed, but we were off in the far end of the campground by ourselves and they never said anything. These new freezers don't run much once they get cold, and this was in November and not very hot.
That's in the Everglades, they don't sell them in the stores I shop at in Indiana, lol. Actually, I have heard it was good, or worth trying.
Tastes like chicken… more so than KFC
Tastes more like pork to me. But gator does have a unique flavor of its own. But it doesn't have a strong taste. I liked it the very first time I tried it. And I ordered it several times later.
No wonder you needed such a big trailer to tow!
I have watched people spend 2-4 hours packing up stuff that they brought for a weekend! The most I ever have to pack up is a couple of chairs, maybe a small stool, and the table cloth from the picnic table. Does not include my hose and putting away electric plug, however.A few years ago we were staying at Rodman Campground south of Palatka, Florida for a couple of weeks.

Remind me so much of many Floridians.
