For those of you who don't understand the woods of Florida, here is an illustration.
I live in a suburban golf course community. This picture was taken from my driveway:

This wooded lot has not been touched in the 12 years I've lived in my house. It is 80 feet deep and there is a home on the back side of it. That tree just right of center is about 5 feet into the scrub. There is not enough money in the world that anyone could give me to walk through that scrub and touch that tree.
Here is a closeup picture

Keep in mind, that scrub there is dried out now because it's winter. When it's green and lush it's impossible to see in there. A small bird or lizard bumping up against palmetto fronds can sound like bigfoot.
I have seen pygmy rattlesnakes come out of those woods. I have seen eastern diamondback rattlesnakes come out of those woods. There are scorpions living in those woods. There are banana spiders and black widows living in those woods. I have seen all of these creatures there. And a few weeks ago I found a water moccasin in my front yard. Gee, I wonder where he came from.
And this area is much more hospitable than the area where Caylee was found because it is not low lying and does not retain water and become swampy.
I hope this helps people to understand that five feet into the woods of Florida is much different- and significantly more dangerous than five feet into the woods of New York or Ohio.
No way I would go walking in that mess! Im REALLY suprised Casey had the nerve to venture in to dump Caylee off where she did, wish she would have been bitten by a snake!!! {Casey that is!} I know, thats not very nice to say that, but Casey is NOT a nice person!!
