Re: Headstones on Blue Mountain

From Calobe Jackson, Jr., March 18, 2006

I visited the old slave graves on Blue Mountain, two years ago with a guide, who just happened to appear while I was searching (maybe it was an angel).  I could not find it again with out some aid. Below are GPS coordinates.
