I have been there it is well worth the trip to see the place, There is also an huge barn on down the road and way on down, is an interesting bridge to nowhere, I am told that the old road from evergreen to Montezuma went that way, it was the main road, before it was moved north, does any one have any knowledge of Old Town, in Creek that would be Tallasse or Tallahasse, as it was an old Creek or Alabama Indian town, it is just north of Cohassett? on the Evergreen, Andalusia Hwy, Also has anyone heard of Dripping Rock Cave near the Yellow river bridge north of Florala, Thanks Nathan C.
