I will be relocating from Minnesota to Florida in the coming months. I visited the state for two weeks and got home last Tuesday.
I was in Wakulla county (SW of Tallahassee). swamp like in some areas. Nearly all the trees were covered with, what the locals called, Spanish moss. I'm told the moss contains some nasty little critters which burrow under your skin.
Many of the trees were unfamiliar to me, as a resident of MN my entire life. I'm not talking palm trees either, but I do not know their names yet.
Does anyone have experience climbing in that area? are the trees in the wetland areas considered safe to climb if they appear healthy and live? Any tips to avoid unwanted pests from ruining the day?
Keep in mind, I am not a working climber. Thanks for your help.
