But the water was high and very fast and you couldn't see anything because it was so brown. Every now and then Scott put a mask and snorkel on, stuck his head in the water, and said 'Man, I don't like that. I can't see anything.' I asked him about gators and told him how everyone said they weren\'t a problem. He said that\'s what everyone says, but they just don't have much experience. He'd seen several in this very creek. In fact, twice he had turned around under water with his snorkel and found them stalking him. Great. I could have stayed home and collected nearly the same teeth in New Jersey --- without feeling like a prey item.
