Micanopy & Evinston, FL - March 31, 2012
Cross Creek, home of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, author of The Yearling - thunderstorm was quickly rolling in
Tenant's house at Cross Creek consisted of two rooms, one which was the bedroom for the entire family and the other room for the kitchen and dining area.
Scrub board and laundry on the porch at Cross Creek
View of the porch at Cross Creek, after coming from the living room. The house was in several different sections, probably to keep the bedrooms and seating areas away from the heat of the kitchen.
Outhouse at Cross Creek - one seat, no waiting
Pratts Dog Food at the Evinston General Store and Post Office - This food sold for five cents a pounds AND you got a feeding dish - FREE - with every ten pound purchase.

We stopped at the Mosswood Farm store which sells organic coffee and some very delicious looking breads.
This truck is on the side of the house which had all the toilets on the other side of the yard. The townspeople of Micanopy just love this guy - NOT! People come to view the quaint little town from the early 1920's & 1930's and get this eyesore. There was junk all over the porch, a rotten piece of fencing in the yard and a dilapidated sign which read antiques.
