FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, Dan! I have wanted to go to the Okefenokee Swamp for YEARS and YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!! I have begged Tim for us to go and to do the swap rides and paddle trips, but he always makes up a bunch of excuses for not going. I have some friends and a cousin that I sometimes take trips with and/or do things with; looks like if I'm ever gonna get to go, it will have to be with some of them. Did you ever do the Okefenokee Swamp boat ride at Six Flags? I remember when I was growing up that it was one of my favorites!

There were any major battles fought right here around my house, but we do find CW items. I told this just the other day but will tell you about it since you might have missed it. Just up the road is an old Antebellum house that was used as a Confederate hospital during the CW. Straight up the mountain, behind that house (and about a mile out the mountain from our land where the Lutes murders took place) is some huge rocks where soldiers corralled their horses. According to history, there were a few MINOR skirmishes right here close by, but certainly no real battles. However, Union Colonel Abel D. Streight, led "Streight's Raid" right across my area. Streight's Raid was an attempt by the Union to attack and disable the Western & Atlantic Railroad system so that Confederates were not able to transport soldiers, ammo, and other materials. Streight and his men were riding mules instead of horses and were referred to as, the "Jackass Cavalry." General Nathan Bedford Forrest and his band of Confederate soldiers were in hot pursuit and ended up tricking the Union boys into surrendering - in a very comical way. A MAJOR story in all of this happened about 12 miles from here and involved a 16 year old civilian girl by the name of Emma Sansom. If you want to know more, you can let me know and I'll be glad to share more details. As for Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, he was one of THE founders of the Ku Klux Klan, in Pulaski, Tennessee, which is just over the state line. I'm a history teacher and can give you details out the wazoo if you want them! Ha!

You have a wind mill, Thats awsome

Glad you have the snow, we had enough last year. I'll be ready again next year though. We have had about 2 inches this year, cool.

Roads closed---4 to 6 inches---(snicker--giggle--ROFL)

Don't all you who are snow bound just love this global warming?

Jeff
 
Yep, we've had the wind mill since around 1988 or 89. I think it's a cool!
