[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1406755, member: 4362"] Its on one of the farms I look after. Always new it was there but never had a reason to go "there". Its a long way back in the swamp and you can only get there on foot a few months out of the year and even then it involves wading. To get to this spot it involves heading through pure he77 for a quarter mile or so then there are sloughs you have to cross but then you get to the hill in the middle of the swamp and its like a park. On one place there is an old town that had a grist mill. Everything is deserted now. At one time it was really prosperous with the grist mill and a plantation of tung oil trees. We have a few cemeteries too. One is about two miles off the road and I put fence around it to keep it safe and a few years later a women from Michigan was doing some genealogy got my name and asked me about it and while she was on her way to Florida I met her and showed her the grave site. She was so pleased it was still there and we had respected it like we had. Neat stuff I think. [/QUOTE]
