Day 158 - Historic Aerials of our Property

I've been stuck in our camper most of this week due to the hurricane passing through Mississippi. We're five hours north of the Gulf of Mexico, so we rarely get anything major from hurricanes that impact the coast. On Thursday, we received 4-5" of rain with winds around 20-25mph. It was nothing major, and we're all safe.

I'm going to the property the day this is published to record in the rain and document water flow around various areas of the property. We've owned the property for 5 months and have not spent a night there. Usually, rain is the signal for us to leave before we get stuck, so I have very little first-hand knowledge of water flow as it happens. Recording water drainage will give me a better idea as to what needs to be done as we develop further.

In this video I'm taking a step back in time to learn a bit more about the property we own. Was it always a forest? Was it used a farm? Was it used for cattle grazing? I won't be able to find all of the answers but I'm definitely learning daily. I hope this is as interesting to you as it is to me!
