Default what an interesting day!!

My husband and I planned on going out to the Orlando Wetlands today. Well he gets the bikes loaded and we set off to the wetlands which is a pretty quick drive. We get out on the trails and it is a nice ride...until I stop for a break and something messes up on my bike and the wheel wont turn. My husband comes over and looks at it and somehow the brakes had gotten stuck on the tire and pulled it off the wheel which in turn got the brakes stuck on the inner tube. My husband gets it unstuck then BAM!! the tire popped!! Birds go flying everywhere. This place is protected and there is no hunting allowed so Im worried people are gonna think we just shot something. We were only about half-way through the path around the lake too so we ended up having to walk the rest of the way around listening to squeak-squeak-squeak of my tire which is completely flat and still kinda rubbing the brakes.

As we are walking my husband not even watching what he is doing almost steps on a water moccasin. (which I got a picture of...not of him almost stepping on it but of hte snake itself. Its pretty small) Then a little more down the path my husband is walking and comes about two feet from a seven foot gator. Totally not watching the ground itself. (they really dont mess with you though...usually they jump back in the water before you even see them) Sooo we finally make it back to the car and head home. It really was an interesting day.

Going to try to take the inner tube back to walmart because it is one of those self sealing ones and maybe they will exchange it for us.
