Hey ARC.......you ever hunt Punta rassa ghost town ?? It looks hot from google and a lot of gold changed hands here at the terminus for the cracker trail. The spaniards only traded in gold coins for these cattle and some of the cattle barons were rich in gold coins. All the cattle were trans shipped from punta rassa. It looks from google to be all there in the bush.View attachment 1727588 not sure if the circled area is old town streets or cattle stockades.View attachment 1727589 I can be in there by kyak in 10 mins with the coil down.....or in the shallows. There was a large hotel on the coast here somewhere. Have you ever read any history about it or been there ??

No... but man o man... do I know that area... and more than most... historically I could blow your mind.

Hey !... IS lake water like Rum ? ? ?

Hmmmmm...............

Lake water is NOT like rum, take it from me. I drank a little bit of lake water once, and wretched every last bit of existence from my innards that day. Wasn't fun.

Well....punta rassa history is great.....and my initial Google earth scans are hot ! I see to much to easily from Google to not go try. It just seems like an easy kyak trip and then bang you could be on some sites quickly. I've already seen 2 big rain barrel just inshore close by.

Rook, your pics remind me of the Goonies.

Never heard of them.

Are they like these?

ARC....you believe black ceaser existed ?? I believe there were many different sets of pirates in the area.....names are a semantic. The overwhelming evidence says multiple pirates at different times were nested up and down the west coast. So ya I'm a believer that there was much pirate activity around the area. What about cara palue island......I've been on that one !!

Ha ha ha. Satisfied?

 

[Blak bart]

I know one thing......I got a knew nox600 and a kyak.....and if what I'm looking at is what I think, well I don't need a pirate story to go look......there was a whole town here. I think I can park at punta rassa boat ramp, and from there make it happen captain !!
