Interesting, Archie. You're on the trail of the legendary Revolutionary war hero the Swamp Fox. One river nearby floods and runs into the neighboring woods. Barbed wire fences take a bit of the glamour out of what could otherwise be a fun tour. I've avoided it for that reason. You folks there had enough to contend with, with ranches, logs, and all.
I get to tromp some swamps here in Michigan during winter when they're frozen over. Spring and summer it would be hip deep.
