There is swamp Poolie and then there is swamp. Some people these days call any lo lying area a swamp next to the road. Many times those are just mud puddles and riding those isn't bad. Riding in the real swamp, well even if you can find high ground when you worry more about gators and snakes than a dog chasing you, THAT"S a swamp. Unless you know what you are doing back there, surfing the internet IS better for you. You will live longer and watching an episode of Swamp People will not help that much unless you have Troy, Liz, RJ or Joe with you.
