Please note that some sections are not cleared of undergrowth, so watch out for ticks, snakes, etc. Take a stick with you to defend yourself if necessary, but avoid interacting with them as much as possible. In addition, you will pass through some areas where herds of cows graze, so avoid interacting with them as well.
