Pickleball hiking Brazos Bend

We skipped pickleball this morning and instead we hiked in Brazos Bend State Park. We hiked approximately 5 miles and saw lots of gators and birds today... including a first for all of us- two bellowing gators. Gators will arch their bodies and bellow which is both a warning to other males and attraction to females. The deepness of a male's bellow indicates it's size
