Does Sabal Trail think black bears can’t walk the short distance from 24th Street, Stagecoach Road, and US 90 to 199th Place? What about those fox squirrels and indigo snakes? Gopher tortoises are also more places than people might think.
And what about that sinkhole only about 200 feet from the pipeline at Pilgrim’s Pride on US 90? These two pictures were taken from the same place, looking in opposite directions:
Here are the pictures, from north to south. I actually started on CR 132, but 24th Street is northernmost. I’ve grouped the pictures by the Sabal Trail maps from 7 April 2016, as made available online by Lowndes Area Knowledge Exchange (LAKE), in this order:
- 24th Street
- CR 132 aka Stagecoach Road
- CSX Railroad and Suwannee River State Park entrance
- US 90, Pilgrim’s Pride, sinkholes
- 199th Place, I-10, and the encampment
You’ve seen many of the encampment pictures before, but here are more, and they’re in context with nearby pipeline construction.
Maybe somebody would like to go back to these locations and send pictures of what they look like now. Please stay on public rights of way and strictly legal and peaceful.

Since the Army Corps of Engineers permitted this, shouldn’t they be called about any violations?
