he&#8217;ll definitely be adjusting how many strokes I get next time we tee it up!\u00a0 This gator was big enough and close enough that while we were hitting our tee shots, one of us watched the gator to make sure he stayed put.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-395 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lennysride.com\/2016\/whiskeypapa\/here\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Gator-1.jpg?resize=584%2C350\" alt=\"Gator\" width=\"584\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lennysride.com\/2016\/whiskeypapa\/here\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Gator-1.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lennysride.com\/2016\/whiskeypapa\/here\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Gator-1.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lennysride.com\/2016\/whiskeypapa\/here\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Gator-1.jpg?resize=768%2C461&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lennysride.com\/2016\/whiskeypapa\/here\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Gator-1.jpg?resize=500%2C300&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/>After taking Theresa out for her birthday breakfast it was time for me to get on the road.

things I would have liked to do on the way to St. Augustine was go visit the Navy Seal Museum.\u00a0 When I got there, I found out that they are closed on Mondays.\u00a0 However, there was a grounds keeper (former Navy Seal) that, after verifying I was a Vet, allowed me to go inside the gates and take a few pictures while he ran some trash to the dumpster.\u00a0 <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
