Friend Carla invited me to join her on the monthly public hike on the Sedgewick Reserve. We were all set to leave with the moderate level hike group when the leader heavily cautioned any of is without lugged soles to not come on his route. So we moved over to the easy group and had a very interesting experience. A very nice feeling of being way into the country and curious insight into how others lived and grew up.

- Beyond the main house many pretty trees and some of the removed housing used by the Sedgewick children
