You need to 'make a mistake' ??

yes, make a wrong turn. the road to that house is open and acessable. I know it as there is a meter right on it, just about five feet down the road. the home had power probably at one time and may even be liveable.its not uncommon for some here to have no power and have county water, especially Gifford. it appears to have been a farm. with the topo I cant make it out. I had to go back to the 1970. it should the same thing. a cleared field with the home there and the barn barely visable. I aslo looked for those graves as I remember they were all buried in the woods and back in the 80's it was. and then.interesting im mistaken about the Gifford middle school that was use for a k-6. its not there in the 57 topo.

lol, you thought a misread? theres no meter on that home. I have gone back as far as 57 and found one thing about the graves , possibly, it was open and accessable then as there was a road by them. It takes no time for pines to overgrow and grow to maturity. but well pines forests in florida are rather wide. that is why I could see the graves for some time after the overgrowth.

It is almost awe-inspiring how quickly nature can reclaim land.

I know. I have been looking for some things in the older topos. man its changed a lot areas where I didn't know where groves. a few old Spanish homes I could find. I found.

This was an adaptation of a California style of covered entryway.

I rather like what appears to be skylights to allow light by the front doors.

it has sky lights. I have seen them on. that is on tommorows route. it has that shape of a roof and appears real narrow.

It doesn't look like a Chinese restaurant at all.

Nice!

cause you cant see the sign. most Chinese restaurants here don't look like the pagoda types. though I wish I had a pic of the old moon garden restaurant and nankin. those did.

it would never fly today. lawsuits. that plane hurt my child. as they let their child climb the jet and jump of the tail as I did often. it had controls in all when it first was at that park.its now been restored. a relic and one of a kind that is left from the Korean war
