Bert Clayton owned a small Bedford bus and a 30 hundredweight well type truck which was also used for passengers when necessary. The truck, that was most times overloaded, carried all the building material and supplies for Point Lookout. The road that Clayton constructed from Amity to Point Lookout, along the edge of the swamp, was no more than a single set of wheel tracks through mostly heavy sand. Known as the sandtrack, it was later officially named as Clayton’s Road in recognition of Bert Clayton.
