Thanks for the link! I have a hard time finding any old places to hunt that hasn't been paved over around here. Even when I do find some old places I hardly ever find anything <<<sigh>>>. LOL

I spent a long time researching a long lost fort in my area (Minnesota). Got all the old maps I could, read description of the area during the time. Found that it was built at the place one river splits and another feeds into it. Jump onto Google Earth, get the coordinates. Grabbed the GPS, MD and off I go. And turn into a subdivision on "Old Fort Drive."

i'm game guys. i'm in miami and have spent a bit of time running around big cypress. trudging through the everglades with a 30 lb backpack is fine with me. i'm a ham radio operator so i can have communications gear with me to talk back home regardless of cell phone coverage.

looks like we may have a group of "grunts" here.

I'll be in Clearwater this winter. Love to hunt an old fort myself.
