The long driveway thru the pinetrees is the Mclemore house. Supposively they were starting to mine gravel from 2000 acres of swamp that extended from the back of arrowhead to froggy bottom. Much of that land has never been accessed due to no roads prior to now / soon. No telling what critters are in that swamp.
If you are going East on Wares Ferry Road and past the Woods neighborhood and cross the bridge to the right before the cemetery, back in the late eighties and early nineties when that development was starting CT Thackston was the site contractor. Early one morning CT's son Tate Thackston was about to get on his dozier and huge gator wasn't having any of it. It lived in that swamp there and I think it measured well over ten foot. I don't know who killed it but there was a article in the Montgomery Advertiser about it. At that time it was very rare to see or know of Gators in the Montgomery area. Now it's as common as a pay day loan store.
