| The day's visits were a bit hit and
miss. I had to skip a couple of other places because they were
closed. I didn't know what I would find on my next stop, Boggy Depot
State Park. It was used as a Confederate commissary depot during the
Civil War. I didn't know if I would be able to see anything historic
there, but it was still on my way to my last stop so I went there. |
 |
| It turns out that it is really just a
state park with picnic tables, camping sites, a fishing lake and
stuff like that. So rather than try to drive around looking for
something historic I just wandered around the cemetery looking for
long dead people like Leonard Reeves, born May 15, 1897, died
October 11, 1918. |
 |
| Forbis LeFlore lived longer, from 1810
to 1881. |
 |
| Miss Clara W. Eddy died at Boggy Creek
C.N., a resident of the Indian Territory. My guess is that C.N.
stands for Choctaw Nation. |
 |
| Don't know what happened to the wall
here. |
 |
| I assume it was still intact when
Reverend Israel Folsom was buried in 1870. |
 |
| Nuff said. |
 |
| Day one (I don't count the drive from
Nashville to Little Rock) ended in Eufaula. Why Eufaula? Because it
was there. |
 |
| The room was not fancy, but it was
comfortable enough for a one night stay. |
 |
| As is my rule, I do not eat meals at
places I can eat at home. This is a chain local to Oklahoma called
Boom-a-rang Diner. |
 |
| I got a patty melt and some fried
pickles. |
 |
| On the way back to the hotel, I stopped
in town to look at some of the old buildings. This was an old bank
building. |
 |
| The brick building was built in 1900
and the stone building to the right is a year older. |
