Hey Heat... I luv that to hear them stories... years ago all the fences were built with cypress or Liter post.. My granddad put in about 200 Liter poles back in the 50s for the old boat sheds at J&S fish camp.. he cut them in the corbet area.. they were 12 to 18 inches around.. 30 years later you still couldn't drive a nail in them they was so hard..  From the 30's to the early 50's My uncles used to cow hunt and move the cows from the west side of west palm beach to Okeechobee, said they did it once every year took 3 to 4 weeks, they had cow camps along the way and had supplies dropped to them by a guy in an old world 1 plane.. in the 30's they're were still a large group of seminoles  that had a village near Indiantown they said they would trade with them  along the way and sometimes hire a few of um, to help hunt the cows..  I remember as a kid saying to my Grandparents, there was really Indians there.. My grandma said to me , Good lord child where do you think the name Indiantown came from !!
