When I was a kid, several years before we moved to Liverpool, our family had a weekend place on Chocolate Bayou. Our good friends, the Jahnke family, also had a place there, and Val, Donnie, my sister Karen and I were on or in the water constantly.
While I never personally saw an alligator in Chocolate Bayou, there were always rumors, and it looked like ideal gator habitat.
Asked about letting her sons swim there, Martha Jahnke, who had grown up in Florida, said that she preferred swimming in waters where she knew there were gators – because she didn’t have to worry about snakes.
