Re: Feb 2015 Trip Report 2/6-2/14
I've tried to upload a few videos from today but I think my low speed connection out here in the boonies isn't allowing it to work properly so I'll try tomorrow from work. Does anyone else spend hours at work day dreaming on this forum as much as me?
We stayed low key and played some guitar on our porch at Pure Garden and even got a standing ovation from our neighbors for our version of "what's up" by the four non blondes. Mr. T says that song was pretty popular in JA at one time. Who knew. Tomorrow is going to be a long day, with a trip to Roaring River, the cave, Sav and Just Natural.

We arrived in Petersfield, the town the Roaring River and the Cave is in. The Roaring River Citizens Association maintains the property. I learned that Petersfield is one of the oldest townships on the Island, dating back to the 17th Century. Peter Beckford was the owner of Roaring River Estate and one of the wealthiest people in the West Indies at the time. Petersfield was named after him.

Mr. T expressed to me how spiritual this area made him feel. He said that the caves contain escape routes that were used by slaves to escape their owners and that they extend for miles. I've tried to find some history on this and haven't been very successful but perhaps someone on this board can steer me in the right direction.

One of the guides told me that many of the people that reside in this town are employees of the Frome Sugar Factory.
