Lets go on a Safari!

This morning we were hard at it again!  It was time to go on Safari… We headed out to Briarwood Ranch, about an hour east of Johnson City, Tn. off of Highway 81.

The owner’s bought this land over 20 years ago.  They have been doing the tours now for only 5 years.  A few years back, after the animals ate all the undergrowth, they discovered a cemetery! The graves dated back to the late 1700’s!  Apparently over 200 soldiers from the Civil war are buried here. They told us the big tree in the centre of the pic is over 400 years old.
