The pages up to now covered incidental stuff I noticed along the way here. From here on out, I was in the area I needed to recover from the lost computer disaster. |

Ray Fagan had brought Oliver Pollock into focus. Here on the hilly stretch between Woodville and the La.state line, this small stone marks Pollock's grave. He was a national hero, a true patriot in the Revolutionary War. And, he lies here passed by. At least Mississippi has paid him some due. Here comes more links. Please read them. This guy was the real deal when it came to diplomacy, hard work and determination to the point of ruining himself financially. The grave stone just doesn't begin to tell it all. |

Next up the Pinchneyville Road was Desert Plantation. I just stuck my head in the gate and looked around. I was uneasy as there was a gate and no welcome sign. I would return to explore one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen, and I've seen a few.This place was ghostly beautiful. It was something you would think impossible to exist in this plastic, billboard littered world. More later in this write. |

Across the road was Mississippi humor at its finest. The little house was named "Oasis" by its owner. Very funny. Humor was thick on this road as I would see soon. |

The Old Pond Store was next. I can't find a Pond Store internet site? |

I am guessing those two neat cabins are camps or B & B's. |

I approached the store and the barn. |

Jackasses all. Now how does that family tree look? |

I promise you I was going in, but it was closed. |
