I’ve recently moved to central Florida, and I was wondering what safety precautions to take when canoeing rivers like the Sante Fe. I’m not overly freaked out about the gators and water moccasins, but I’d like to know exactly what to expect, and how to prepare (short of taking a shotgun with me lol).
I’ll probably take a spare cell phone with me, in an airtight pouch in one of my pockets, and a utility knife and TONS of bug spray. Also, I’ll be going for 3-4 hours at a time, if that matters.
Any other suggestions?

I can’t help but think after reading all the conservadrivel that maybe the civil war was a bad idea.
I mean really. The more I see how divided we are, the more I would like to see us divided. This makes no sense. What is the point of having “one nation” when it’s really not. It’s two or three nations coexisting with one another.
I say we divvy up the states and let the conservatives go their own way. No more tax money from the rich blue states for their nonsense. No more childish nonsense from the few lousy Republicans left in congress.
Maybe it’s time to pack it in, call it a day, and split this rock down the middle?
So my question is, if we could vote on dividing up the country between conservatives and liberals, would you vote yes or no?
I like to consider myself an independent, but I know a liability when I see one. Conservatives as a constituency are a liability to not only this country, but the world. I’d vote yes in a heartbeat.

Mason and Dixon were both from England. Some believe Dixon is the origin of the term Dixie so I would have to choose the Dixon side 
The border between Pennsylvania and Maryland is basically the Mason – Dixon line (Not exactly but close enough)

No. It runs across the southern border of Pennsylvania until it reaches Delaware, at which point it heads south running between Maryland and Delaware.

The Line that Divided the North and South
Alhough the Mason-Dixon line is most commonly associated with the division between the northern and southern (free and slave, respectively) states during the 1800s and American Civil War-era, the line was delineated in the mid-1700s to settle a property dispute. The two surveyors who mapped the line, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, will always be known for their famous boundary.
In 1632, King Charles I of England gave the first Lord Baltimore, George Calvert, the colony of Maryland. Fifty years later, in 1682, King Charles II gave William Penn the territory to the north, which later became Pennsylvania. A year later, Charles II gave Penn land on the Delmarva Peninsula (the peninsula that includes the eastern portion of modern Maryland and all of Delaware).
The description of the boundaries in the grants to Calvert and Penn did not match and there was a great deal of confusion as to where the boundary (supposedly along 40 degrees north) lay.
