Update on the "Old Soldiers Campground"..
Can someone help me on information please.

When we turned behind the "rest area" at the Sulfur River crossing on 59, the
rest area being on the Cass Co. side of the river, and traveled to the end of
the road, 2 or 3 miles, we were probably a block away from the area where the
spring should be.
(I have to go back and have another look.)

The roads' end should have been at a bluff that is called Stone Cold Bluff.
The land used to belong to Congressman Wright Patman.
There was about two acres of land that was the campgrounds.
No trees were growing on it back then.

We are looking for history, anyone have any to share, or know what we are
talking about?
