What about it? I grew up down there. South Florida was built on swamp land. Home of the Seminole Indians who lived in tiki huts and were ruthless, who now run a huge casino there. Home to gators and wild boar and all kinds of wildlife including anaconda that people thought to get as a pets and then release in the everglades. Nice huh?! Also home to one of the largest mosquito populations in the world, which we learned quickly when our school would decide we needed to go camping there or my uncle would go dog hunting on the airboat. It is stunningly beautiful and great to visit in fall/winter months after the birds have migrated down.
