The swamp outside of Gainesville I lived in definitely had a dryer season where it was passable on foot.

  "passable on foot" meaning "didn't need to worry 'bout hip boots", or "didn't need to worry 'bout gators"?

    Both the swamp was either high or dry. When it was wet one really needed motivation to go wading although we had swimming holes. When it was dry the water ways were clearly defined and could be avoided. The cold blooded creatures were I believe dormant at this time. Although being able to see the ground gave me a lot of confidence. No doubt my Dad would be locked up today although the judge would have had a hard time figuring out which parent was the responsible party.
