Spent my whole life in and around the swamp, a gator dont bother me. My sons old enough to handle them now too, so its no worries here. A gator is better anyhow, cause if hes around, the snakes are not...

[msmith0322]

Got a wedding to goto. Leaving today and will be back sunday. Ill head out there when i get back. Dont know what time I'll be back.

[CarolinaCrawler]

Yeah they should be ok its pretty open out there as long as they stay away from the ponds. Full shoes cause there are ants out there. Its probly gonna get hot out there with no shade and alot of sandy dirt.

[msmith0322]

Yea. Bring lots of water and wear some cool clothes (shorts, short sleeve or tank tops). If you got a hatch like tracy does then it will provide some shade.

[CarolinaCrawler]

Sounds good. I'll bring 2 of the 3 little ones. Should be fun for them. I always bring tons of water everywhere, so no worries there. Any other advice for the terrain? This will be my first drive with my truck.
