Just outside Beaumont, TX, right off the 10, is everything I’ve been waiting for: Gator Country, a family-run park packed to the teeth with alligators big and small – and huge – and the very nice people who rescued and care for them.
We spent a few amazing hours wandering around, gawking at these incredible beasts, handling the babies and other smaller creatures, and chatting with Arleigh and his staff.
