Gearing Up for a Day of Fun

Lynn wasn’t lying when she said that it would be next to impossible to find anyone willing to talk about the secessionist movement. It seems like the groups calling for secession wasn’t quite the majority and that their ranks have fallen as the next century rolled around. That being said, there are a couple of written family descriptions of the event that have been spread around by the children of the leaders of the movement and I hope to ask around for them tomorrow. Also, I have found official, albeit fuzzy, descriptions of the locations of a few of the larger “resorts” from the time period. Hopefully I can find their remains tomorrow on my way to or from visiting the archives. I will also be sure to ask for contemporary descriptions of them or documents straight from them. Lynn has been very helpful, but it seems like there just isn’t much left over from the time period, in terms of both oral and written history. That being said, I am functioning on the assumption that this is more a case of a lack of interest in the region and less a total lack of information. I’ll be sure to let you all know how tomorrow goes and if I need to plan another trip or continued close contact with Lynn and others that I meet tomorrow.
