Hogtown Creek- Gainesville, Florida


Nimravis

Recommended Posts

I just looked at a post that I did almost 1 year ago about Hogtown Creek in Gainesville and this post is almost exactly the same. It was a quick visit to Alfred Ring Park, about 45 minutes, and again I only found some miscellaneous bone pieces, Ray and shark teeth. The temp was hot, 86 degrees,  and the water was cool- it made for a great time. On the way out, I ran into what I believe is an endangered 4 1/2 foot Florida Pine Snake, who was in exceptional shape. After a brief discussion with him, he went on his way and so did I.

 

Here are some pics of the area, the snake and my finds.

Forget the snake, those Hogtown river trowels are the scariest thing and man do they bite!

The do Doren, good thing I did not run into a “folding military shovel” like I did last year. I figured the trowel was more tame this year and if I decided to carry one it would be a lot easier.

Almost missed this one.

Nice snake and little toothies. :)
