Exploring an oxbow on the Altamaha River in February 2007 proved to be a memorable experience. We were enjoying the primeval surroundings of cyprus and live oak trees when the oxbow narrowed and the banks kept getting closer and closer. Mesmerized by the stunning scenery, movement on the bank caught Gail's eye. When we turned to look we saw and heard a very large alligator hit the water coming toward us. Speechless and unable to turn our 14' kayaks around quickly while dodging cypress trees, we paddled like hell until we got out of the oxbow. Locals assured us that the alligator would not bother us, but we were certain that alligator wanted two blondes for lunch.
