Rhonda and I experience two unknown sounds at Dade Battlefield State  Park.  These recorded sounds were only heard later during editing.  We had a third experience with my dog Jazz, which rolled around on the ground where the mass burial of soldiers was at one time.  My dog is not a cadaver dog, but dogs have a natural instinct to roll around on dead things or pieces of dead things left behind.     When we arrived, we did not know what we were going to see.  Rhonda and I were stunned by the size of this tiny state park.   We were even more surprised to find out there is no camping. Basically,  there is the parking lot, shelters for an afternoon picnic, hiking trails, a tiny battlefield with great Florida history, and a closed museum because of the pandemic.   The Treaty of Moultrie Creek in 1824 placed the Seminoles on a  reservation that included the site of the future Dade battlefield.   Dade State Park is the second Seminole war battlefield where Seminole warriors ambushed soldiers under the command of Major Francis L. Dade on  December 28, 1835.    This is where our focus was when we began our filming, the battlefield site, which I also call the massacre site. I am not claiming this  Seminole massacre site is haunted. I am reporting events that accord while we filmed throughout the battlefield site.    After watching, you will have to decide for yourself; you might even be interested in a trip of your own for further investigating.    SHOP & SUPPORT US - HOW WE MAKE MONEY ON THE ROAD   We are always asked by others how we make a living within our full-time  RV lifestyle.  Rhonda has been creating jewelry for the last eight years, so it only made sense for her to continue to do so in our RV  travels of three years.  If you want to learn more, check out our website at  https://www.thejewelrylady4u.com. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/john-atchley/message
