Wicker Point is directly East of Willow Point. Follow Willow Point Cut-Off across 63 and explore. There are several cemetaries down there, many being the final resting place of several Civil War soldiers. Many have also been completely desecrated with no regard for the honor and history they hold. It will make you proud to see the history, and it will enrage and crush you to see how they have treated it.
I cannot discuss the waste with you in any more detail, and have likely already said more than I should. Rest assured, it is there, I am not exagerating, and it will all be reported to the EPA and ADEM sometime in the future. It is still going on, I see it almost every day, Someone will eventually blow the whistle, but as of today, most are afraid that if they speak honestly about the dumps, they will meet the same fate as Ocie. I am pretty sure they killed him and buried him somewhere near the Dutchman's Mine. (Ok....that part is an exageration. Ocie is fine and well and living at an undisclosed location. He had just worked for RL too long, so he had to go before they felt like they owed him a watch or something. :)
Now that the new management has made enemies of all of the employees who created and made Russell Lands what it was, and in the process turned Ben's company into Russell Corp, I imagine the whole story is not long from being revealed.
Do you remember the old creosote plant in the curve on Hwy63? It was odd to many of us when it was closed that no one ever saw any material coming out after the closing. The plant just "disappeared." Creosote, mind you.
I bet it's still there, but you can't see it.....
without a shovel.
For the record, I live on the lake, in a Russell development. I bought my lot before you moved here, and LONG before Russell Lands became the Untouchable Kingdom it sees itself as today. I have City water and sewer, several trees (though some were cut for my building site, which I have no problem with), I hate dogs, but love deer, and the waste they create. It is the greatest fertilizer you will ever find. Try it sometime! I encourage the deer and other wildlife to treat my yard as teir own personal WC, if they can avoid the mindfield of dog-patties created by my neighbors worthless and stupid pets.
