Harris Chapel Cemetery

April 13, 2013: I visited Harris Chapel Cemetery in Jackson, County, Alabama. The cemetery sits on a hill in Hogjaw Valley. It is the resting place for 16 Confederate soldiers killed in 1865 near Ladd's Farm farther down in the valley.

Road Trip to Camak Stone

April 13, 2013: The family is in Athens today watching a track meet and I am off to see a Camak Stone or at least a new version of the stone.  This stone marks the corner of Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. Because James Camak surveyed the 35th Parallel incorrect this spot is actually a mile farther south than it should be. In the 21st Century this has become a big issue for Georgia because of the surveying error  the Tennessee River does not enter Georgia.

I visited 13 graveyards and catalogued and logged 12 geocaches in Walker and Dade Counties in Georgia, DeKalb and Jackson Counties in Alabama, and in Marion County, Tennessee.
