Plymouth Rock is the traditional site of disembarkation of William Bradford and the Mayflower Pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony in December 1620. The Pilgrims did not refer to Plymouth Rock in any of their writings; the first known written reference to the rock dates to 1715 when it was described in the town boundary records as "a great rock." The first documented claim that Plymouth Rock was the landing place of the Pilgrims was made by Elder Thomas Faunce in 1741, 121 years after the Pilgrims arrived in Plymouth. From that time to the present, Plymouth Rock has occupied a prominent spot in American tradition and has been interpreted by later generations as a symbol of both the virtues and the flaws of the first English people who colonized New England. In 1774, the rock broke in half during an attempt to haul it to Town Square in Plymouth. The top portion (the fragment now visible) sat in Town Square, was moved to Pilgrim Hall Museum in 1834, and was returned to its original site on the shore of Plymouth Harbor in 1880. Today it is ensconced beneath a granite canopy designed by McKim, Mead & White. https://www.instagram.com/jmexplorati... https://twitter.com/jmexplorations http://www.jmexplorationsadventurejou... jmexplorations18@gmail.com ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkxoKoBAud8

#AbandonedMissouri #IndianRidgeResort #OzarkMountains The Ozark mountain region is home to some of the most spectacular riverways, waterfalls, caverns, springs and lakes in the United States. Once inhabited by early settlers and miners looking for gold, It is now a well-known country music mecca that has evolved into one of our country’s most popular tourist attractions and is a playland for the rich and famous. In 2006, developers broke ground on what was to be a grand 900 acre resort, complete with a 390 room resort hotel, massive indoor water park, a golf course, marina and an Indian history museum. But this luxurious resort community was not to be. With billions of dollars on the line, it was a project plagued by shady business deals, including pocketing of investor money, cover ups of environmental hazards, corruption and lies. The masterminds behind this scandalous activity eventually faced jail time, and their all-knowing spouses received hefty fines and sentences that included probation. The shell of opulence now lies dormant…although breathtakingly beautiful from the scenic road above, what lies within is battered and beaten…left behind to rot, slowly succumbing to erosion and decaying interiors….Come along with us as we explore and breathe new life into these stately townhomes that time has forgotten...
