I assumed a ‘Camp Crystal Lake’ kind of what’s in the water vibe

That's how I got it. I'm always stunned at how scared people around here are of getting in the creeks, lakes and rivers. Yeah, we got gators, but they run from you. Try to spot one, dare ya.

I've spent 100 hours on the local swamp and barely saw one running away. Same goes for cottonmouths. You'd have to literally trip on one to get bitten, and they get pretty fuckin' vocal long before that happens. Now imagine less dangerous waters, people still scared.

YMMV if you jump in a lake full of 'em after dark. And that's on you.
