From one of their own brochures
comes this estimate:
"The winding wooded trail that takes
you through the Preserve was
constructed in 1986 at a cost of
$72,500. Lumber alone was $27,500."
Research tells me that lumber
is roughly twice that cost today,
so the boardwalk would cost
$145,000 to build today; further,
it is my estimate that the walk
covers only about 1.5 miles.

The bright yellows and greens in
this dark woods were brilliant!

AH! Someone just passed by and was
commenting on the skunk cabbage,
but I still don't know what the one
with the yellow flowers is...

I've never had an allergic reaction to
poison ivy; regardless, I'm not going
to give poison sumac a try.

How odd...I wonder if the bottoms of
these trees don't get enough sunlight.

And I thought this was dead grass!

This is the East Branch of Cedar Run.
I'm thinking the mosquitos must be
horrible in mid-summer!
