When I was growing up, I often explored the land around where I lived, usually on horseback. I would pack some snacks or a lunch and go out riding through the pine woods and along the white sandy roads.
Sadly, many of those woods and wild places are gone, but thankfully not all of them. Here are a few pictures of the places that filled my childhood and stoked my imagination.

You can still see evidence of the people who used to live in this seemingly wild place. If you like history or are just a little curious, here are some links for you to check out.
