OK - first off - forgive my ignorance with my question ... but - many years ago ~ before I really began to have ties to JaJa and pay attention to my whereabouts - our bartender took my family and me from Negril to Ochi via the coastal route on the way to Ochi and cross country on the return trip. I just viewed a map for the location of the Cockpit Country ... in the early 90's - would there have been roads to carry one from Ochi to Negril that would have passed near the Cockpit area??

I remember SPECTACULAR visuals of the country side we passed thru ... MUST make that trek again one day ...

Again - thanks and looking forward to whatever else you will share. </div></div>

Thank you all for the condolences, she always reminded me that it was cause of me dat shi mek har fuss chrip come a Canada, and how shee fuss hold me.

Laurel the Cockpits are huge they way I go is roun by falmouth cominh from mobay. Through Ochi yuh guh troo Duncans. Roads have been there for hundreds of years, some dem as yuh cyan see a cobblestone road but if ppl up deh some fawm a road updeh. My grandmadda has only had a phone fe bout 6 years now. There was no phone service updeh before dat. These parts of the cockpits are the only ones I know, wehn yuh look pan a map yuh si how huge de place is. They've even found the yelow boa up there and no one believe seh Jamaica ha dem snake deh.

MONGOOSE!!! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

So mi kno de cockits weh stawt from de bottom a ochi up to Christiana which is higher den Spring Garden weh mi deh when mi di deh. MI always mek sure fi bring mi long sleves cah it get cole a night time. </div></div>

Tell yu de truth Iya, I man envy yu. Looking at your area in the cockpits is really awesome. The people the scenery, all spectacular.
One ting yu never mention is water availability.
De place up at Pedro in St. Ann where I did stay a couple summer holidays never had water pipe inna de house. We all had was to dip bucket inna de tank outside, `round ah de back.
We never had electricity neither.
Miss Anna used to gather us young bway at dusk and tell har various duppy story dem, after which we all ran for the comfort and security of bed. Wi used to guh to bed raly nuh raw cup and rise before de fowl dem fly down from roost.
