Wilmer's place from Dr. Mudd and heading off down a farm road that could lead into the swamp, they ended up bypassing the swamp and avoiding Bryantown where the troops were massing. Upon reaching Cox's, they spent hours huddled in a ravine and then were taken to what is always termed the "pine thicket," a few miles further on. We make a stop near the pine thicket, but all semblance of that forested area is long gone since the railroad line was put through in the late-1800s. I tend to agree with Rick Smith and with the Owens statement that the fugitives moved around a bit in that area before Jones shoved them off across the Potomac.

Thank you Laurie - I stand corrected on that point.
