Geesh! A live mine isn't something I would want to find.

Let's hope that a sweep would be done before any work began to clean out the over-growth

That lot hasn't been developed and given the marsh proximity and also blue cypress lake probably won't for along time . 75 years ago thar was built . I will pull up the old images and a current one.

With the marsh & the lake, it's a good thing then the land won't be developed.

It's still rather creepy there could be live mines in that area.

In 1943 there was nothing out there and rt 60 wasn't paved then.

Any former range has that risk.

Good point. I actually wasn't thinking about that. Friends who live on the former Chanute Air Force base have mentioned before about continued sweeps of the former base....just in case anything was left behind, so to speak.

Tara Plantation is rather ostentatious in their wide dichotomy of decorations.

Places like the Miracle Mile Sundries served tasty food at their luncheonettes. Milk shakes made with real ice cream. Chocolate sodas .... home made pies......... it's sad they've disappeared for the most part from our communities.

Wow!

Both photos are excellent in their own ways!

Is there much property for the blue house? The angle from which you shot the house makes it appear as though it has a comfortable grounds around it.

It's large those trees that are stumps buried it behind foliage.there's a golf course just west of this home.
The top photo was just as I start the royal palm Pointe Route,the bottom was taken as I was starting the final segment.

It looks like the property owner may be clearing some of the overgrowth?

Was it heavily overcast/raining when you took the first photo?

If you are wondering why I photographed a box with a meter socket in a field.I use any old remnant to find out what was there.I know this was a packing house as these types of transformers are in these here.in fact where I was taking that photo has one.
