June 30, 2004 Trail of Tears an abandoned place.
Staying on the old Route 66 is tricky. Have found several dead ends. Somewhere, around Devil’s Elbow we found the strangest place. It was an abandoned commune or tourist trap. We are not sure what exactly. But we had to explore it. This one deserves photos so please take a look. Words cannot describe what we found. This is a maze of walls build from cobblestone. Ornate arches built the same way. Water falls and fountains and cement figurines that are larger than life. Boy it was intriguing.

I looked it up...
Built by hand by one man, this stone memorial commemorates the Tragic Trail of Tears march of 1838-39 that claimed over 4,000 Cherokee lives...
