~this is a little piece I pasted about the springs. Artesian wells supply legendary mineral waters to pilgrims seeking help for all kinds of ailments. Historical accounts and legend date the springs back to pre-European era when Indians considered the waters sacred and bathed in them for healing when sick or hurt. Tradition relates that during the American Revolution, four mortally wounded British soldiers were left here in the care of two able bodied men until they died and were buried. Six months later, all six returned to their garrison in Charleston, further perpetuating the springs' legend for healing.
Hamp took us by the springs & as always Jeff says I find someone to talk to. Well, here is a little fella that I met! His name is Mr. Atterburry he liked me taking pictures & wanted me to take his & he had to check to see the camera & sure he looked good! Before we was able to leave he ask me to take one of him & how good he could run! He was at the springs filling up water bottles w/ what looked like maybe his grandaddy & daddy~

FYI- Jeff wanted to take a bath on the springs since that
wasn't possible he choose to "dip" his fishing hand!!!
What a cutie! Should've brought him back with you!
