If old Graves intrigue you why not explore graveyard island? In fact I have received permission from ARCO to clean it up.  Is is completely overgrown.  I had plans to do it last winter but the flood between Christmas and new years ruined that plan and then my friend dying stopped the plan B. Once the weather cools and the water drops some more I will be moving forward with the cleanup.  There are a dozen or so marked Graves and the condition is deplorable. I have already had an offer of assistance from one other forum member but will gladly accept any other help I can get. In full disclosure,  the little island is one huge briar patch and cleaning will be difficult.  Last year there was also a duck nest but I don't know if they stay in place or love from year to year.

Also I recommend the book 'Putting Loafing Streams to Work".  It is about the early years of APCO with a lot of focus on Lake Martin.
