Rare clear spot down-stream from the dam on the western edge of Johnathan Dickinson State Park. Hopefully, the flowing water will keep the alligators away!

After a six mile bike-ride in steaming heat this feels like paradise!

Pamela rides toward the dam, a few hundred yards up-stream from the "swimming hole".

An alligator watches Pamela while she takes a rest.

Another gator on the up-stream side of the dam.

Aerial photo showing the location of the "swimming hole". The dam is circled in red, and the "swimming hole" in green. The close-spaced black lines on the left are rows of orange trees; the Loxahachee River loops through the lower right corner. North is up.
