The West Flordia boundry of 1764. 

This follows with a trip to a swamp. You'll see things like cypress knees, which are the root system's method of getting air to the roots in water. If you've not been in a swamp, most are not as clean as this one, which is setup for visitors to walk through with clean feet and look at various vegetation. What you see as green, like grass in color is algae floating on top of the water.

On this trip we visit two swamps so there are a lot of images of swamps. I won't show you them all but there are more than I care to host and resize in a single setting.

Very pretty nature.

 As I already said:

Very pretty nature.

and I want to say that this photos reminded me a similar natural view from Guangdong, China. Mojo, take a look at my Nature of Guangdong thread, please. I think you'll like them. 5 pictures so far; later I'll upload more.

The Pearl River runs all the way to the Gulf Of Mexico. It is the source of the water for the reservoir you saw in the earlier pictures.

Pine forests are pretty much all over the US but the species varies depending on climate. The pines you are seeing in this image, are of the southern varieties which usually consist of the short leaf, long leaf, loblolly, and yellow pine. As the pine ages, the bark gets slicker

It's interesting. In China -- another river with the same name (Pearl river, Zhu Jiang, 珠江): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_River_%28China%29  .

I became aware of the Pearl river in China when I made sure my facts were correct on the one in the US flowing into the Gulf and not into a tributary. I used to make frequent canoe trips with a group who once a year took a trip down another river that flowed into the Pearl. It took them about a week to get near the Gulf Coast from their starting location. I never made the weekly trip as my work schedule would not allow it.

Yes. It's a long time.

Through out these images, you will see signs that indicate how far we traveled while showing what is along the way. We started at the very beginning outside Natchez. In the image here you see that all this and we've only covered about a 1/3^rd of the way in the first state, to give  you some idea of scale.

All along the way, you find spots like this as the rule rather than the exception. Some have historical significance, most do not.

Through out the US, there are places that are named for the original Indian names. This has not been some idea to credit the Indians with socially correct movements but rather that was what such a location was known as from the first introduction to a place. The names are often what is seen as near unpronounceable to those who first encounter such names. Here is one such name that you might see for yourself.

Comparatively long way. You traveled like through 2-3 small countries (maybe like the size of Laos and Portugal?)

Did you count how much does this travel cost? (Fuel, food?) What sum (budget) is reasonable? I think it's a comparatively inexpensive travel, because you don't pay for hotels and motels and this saves a lot, right?

 About the languages -- interesting moment is that in 2008, Edward Vajda of Western Washington University presented evidence for a genealogical relation between the Yeneisian languages of Siberia (it's in Asia) and the Na–Dené languages of North America (you may wish to see these 2 sources for more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeniseian_languages#Den.C3.A9.E2.80.93Yenisean and http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/03/080326-language-link.html).
 This 'Yockanookany' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yockanookany_River) sounds kind of Asian to me and also reminds me a bit the Mexican Indian name Yucatan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucat%C3%A1n).

Comparatively, costs weren't an issue. I was driving my pickup which is a 4 cylinder and gets good gas mileage. We carried most of the food for our trip with us from the start, making sure we had plenty of ice along the way.  So about all we bought was gas, ice, and occasionally a drink. In the park itself, for the large majority you can't spend money. There is nothing that takes it. I had a portable white gas stove and it sets up just about anywhere, including the tailgate.

Often ancestral sources can be traced through languages and what is common in them. You give a fine demonstration of that with your comment.

Well, that's right -- the languages (linguistics) is very useful in this field (ethnology; ethnogenesis), but people, who aren't professional linguists (as me) should be very careful about the so called 'false friends': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_friend
This is a funny example: ^{By Nutricia - Own work, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=8901549} -- A Dutch advertisement actually meaning "Mama, that one, that one, that one ..." "Please", for a non-Dutch English speaker this reads as though the child is telling her mother to die.
