I grew up in NW Florida. We didn't really include South Florida in our " redneck" areas, usually that area didn't extend past the horse farms in Central Florida.C'mon man, we're not all that bad.
I grew up in south Florida with the gators and snakes, just seemed normal when you didn't know anything else. We used to swim in the canals and lakes with them and didn't think anything of it.
Today I'm a little older and more cautious and there's no way I'd jump in. Lol.
My roughest memories of Florida rednecks were between Perry and Chiefland..those ol boys could have written the book.
