Every October Fort Tatham closed for the winter and Mom and Dad would winterize their cabin before packing pack everything up to return to their home in Gainesville, Florida. With the heat off all winter the pipes would freeze so Dad had to drain the water out of the pipes.  They would not return until the spring of the following year.
