I've surveyed land around the great dismal and let me tell you... it is a dismal place to work in. The woods can be thick, wet and wrapped up with snakes, ticks, poison and all the good stuff that makes working in the woods miserable. Snakes never really bothered me working in the woods but I'll never forget a particular area around there that seemed to be very populated with moccasins and rattlesnakes.

Suffolk, Franklin, South Boston, Isle of Wright, Smithfield are all part of the Tidewater Area of the Old Dominion. They were all sleepy little burgs 40-45 years ago that has grown and consolidated by leaps and bounds from a mainly isolated agricultural area to a more cosmopolitan area. Still a great place to live.

If you cannot live with some of the most aggressive and hateful mosquitoes, stay away from the swamp in the hot summer. They are something else, but a ride through the lake and viewing the cypress trees is something to be remembered. As a kid with Nansemond Indian ancestry, we took canoes down the Geo Washing Canal and went into the swamp from there and it is a spooky place and if you hate snakes, this may not be the place for you to take a trek. All in all, having said that, the swamp has a spirit of it's own. Check it out and bring the heavy duty bug spray.

Uhm no. There was alot of mixing between Africans and indigenous folks. Try reading Dr Gerald Horne not quoting random Hebrew Israelites who you meet outside if the 711
