Today's walk will either be a success or a failure. Yes, there is a success or failure

parameter placed on today's walk. It also has the element of danger.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness. This is a daily podcast providing you with a little motivation,

extra motivation to get out and take the walk. Today's

potentially dangerous 10-minute walk starts after this. There's a sign as I drove in

that simply said feeding the alligators is illegal today's walk is in search of an alligator if I see an

alligator in the next ten minutes we will call this a successful walk if I do not

see an alligator in the next ten minutes, this is a failure.

I'm at the Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina. It's probably 15-20 miles south of where I live in Myrtle Beach.

And the park is on the ocean, but that's not where we're going.

So when you come into the park, the road, I guess it's, you could call it a causeway,

and on either side of the road is water.

I don't know if it's a lake, a lagoon, a marsh, I don't know technically what it's called.

But in this water are alligators.

And some of the most republished photos are of large alligators crossing this road.

And I've been here once before and have seen the alligators, so I'm walking along the causeway.

And I've got water on both sides. There's a small heron.

There's an observation platform.

Some folks are out there.

I think they're looking for birds because apparently this park has like 300 different

kinds of birds.

So now I've got a pretty good view of the water on both sides.
