Hello Karyn,
Having tent camped from the Okefenokee Swamps to the Sauratown Mountain Range (N.C.) I agree, fully, with Jay. Most creatures have an inherant fear of humans and will cause you no problems unless provoked. Your 4 legged friend, however, being far more inquisitive than you may require a bit of attention on your part.
The South offers a world of natural beauty, and wildlife, for you to enjoy. So.... Enjoy the journey !!!

There are feral horses, wild pigs, territorial birds, reptiles of many kinds and more in the warm country. Be prepared to be a welcome visitor to their environment! Come enjoy the show.

As pre-T@B tenters we awoke among, bears, elk, moose, deer, horses, buffalo, goats, racoons, marmots, skunks, huge hares and more. Wouldn't trade any of it! Our biggest issues have generally been with the bipedal critters and their pets.

Anyway, we camped across the US from Washington State, up to Nova Scotia and then Newfoundland and back to the US. We are now in North Carolina and headed to South Carolina tomorrow.

I keep hearing about snakes, alligators and such that are pretty dangerous in the south. Since I don't have my T@B yet, I've just got a thin canvas between myself and nature.....

Also, is it possible to find campgrounds that are open this time of year in the south that will even allow tenters? As I've been driving down here (I'm staying with friends now), the signs I've seen for campgrounds have all had big "Closed" signs on them!
