Tony,

Where was the above picture taken? I can't place it.

 

[BradyBz12]

Just guessing... somewhere near the kennels/horse barns??

 

[ynottony99]

Yes it is near the stables. I was east of the stables on the service road that runs from the overflow lot to the maintenance area.

I cant stress enough my fear of snakes!!! So..... what are the odds that I can avoid seeing or running into one at the campgrounds??????

 

[ynottony99]

I know that snakes are there. I have never encountered one. I have even hiked out through the brush well off the beaten path, and never seen one. If you stay in the cleared guest areas, I think it is pretty unlikely that you will see one.

We have been to The Fort a dozen times and have walked all over even the unbeaten paths and us nor our pups have ever encountered a snake. I'm not saying it's impossible, but improbable.

Last year while staying in the 200 loop we were backing out of the site on the golfcart and right behind us wiggling across the road 2 sites up was a snake of about 4 feet long. Don't ask what kind, I wasn't getting that close, we've had deer right outside the door at times and the armordillers running around under the camper.

stay away from areas of standing water and swampy areas. one crossed our path on the sidewalk walking down to the settlement area. believe me, they are just as afraid of you as you are of them!

Then again....

It's Florida...I saw one ready to take a "dip" in the pool at the Wilderness Lodge. You should have seen that! He was in the brush area around the rockscaped pool..and these poor kids that were trying to trap it with a pole and a pillow case. It was actually kind of funny to watch..from a distance of course!

Look at the base of the tree, to the left of the 300 loop enterance !

 

[Shan-man]

I have only seen them when walking along the canal. And then it was just a black snake.

 

[steffali]

I know they are everywhere but I was worried that there would be more around the campgrounds...... believe me I will nt be going out of my way to look for them

 

[BradyBz12]

Ahhh, it looks so nice and green and WARM there! As opposed to here where it in southern NH where it's hovering around 0.

 

[DWFan4Life]

I just finished viewing pics from this thread, all are awesome. I'm looking forward to stay there on our next trip, do camping, fishing, horse back riding and etc.

Have a nice day.

[Shan-man]

Oh! That's not near 300, where is that? Is it near 2000?

 

[BigDaddyRog]

That aint near 2000......I have seen this spot while looping...Im thinking in the 1300 loop, but I wouldnt swear to it.
