Hi GatorBoy,
I didn't want to post this for everyone to see, so please keep this to your self.
I am on Rte 441 2 miles south of Micanopy. The "old Indian trail" runs through my property-that's where I'm searching lately. But the whole area is likely the staging area for Osceola and his 200 Seminoles when they attacked the troops 3/4 mile up the road during the June 8, 1835 Battle of Tuscawilla.
I have a current image of the satellite view of my property with an 1895 topo map I got from Historic Aerials that shows the trail as it runs through my property, that is outlined in red. Send me an e-mail address and I can share it with you.
The property is mostly flat, and it gently slopes uphill as you get closer to the highway. I only have 2.8 acres, but if I find something interesting, I hope to be able to show it to my neighbors when I ask them for permission to search their property.
Thanks again for the encouragement and input.
