The first thing that strike me was the gators .Lousiana and Florida are full of gators.Imagine how many europeans/Spanish were eaten by gators when the geography was unknown. I always felt that in one of my previous births, i was eaten by gator or crocodile so i never go too deep in a river, anywhere.

Imagine... youre a Spanish sailor. You see the land from your ship. grab a musket and a couple of guys on a skiff and head over to make land but it's just miles and miles and miles of endless primordial mangrove swamps, full of 32' (39' ?)Gators, cottonmouth, and flocks of birds. Now your miles into the glades and it's getting dark...
