And yea, the roads suck bad. It's funny, because if you're driving on the interstate from Louisiana to any other surrounding state, the moment you cross the state line, the pot holes and unevenness suddenly disappear and you're gliding on black top. Our state is notorious for crap roads.
As far as swamps, it largely depends on where you're at. Out in the sticks, yea, you may want to beware of some alligator. But the way we think, we'd rather beware of the game warden while we're capping us an alligator to take home and put his tail in the frying pan. hehe
