Perry's Pond


My brother Perry Wilson has a new project!  He acquired some property near the Elba by-pass from his grandson Bradley and is turning it into a beautiful get-away.  He has cleared 5 acres of dense forest around the 2-acre pond and behind the cabin his son Brad was building when he died several years ago.

Perry contracted with someone to come in and pull up all the trees less than 6" diameter and pile them up to be burned later.  Then the area was leveled and grass sown (hasn't come up yet).  At the back of the cabin is Beaver Dam Creek - which flooded downtown Elba in 1998.

More later.................
