But send it after August 4^th as that is when I'm moving in. The story of the picture goes like this.

My wife and were headed out of a day ride from our Coral Springs, Florida home. We were headed north on Rt 27 just past the Gatorland tourist attractions and I spotted this buy near the southbound lanes. On our return from the day ride, several hours later, I kept an eyeout for the location. As we neared it I spotted the gator and pulled over to get the picture.

As I set up the camera t get the picture my wife said "He just moved". You can't see it in the picture but his skull was crushed but I could not convince my wife that he was really dead. You can see she is standing a bit future back than I am.

Also in the picture on the ground is part of the car that must have hit him. I'm not sure if he craweled up out of the drainage ditch or escaped from Gatorland.
