We had a photo hike to the TriCounty conservation grounds. Arnie Carr and Mrs. Gene Ladd served as guides. Mrs. Norman Stevenson and some of the girls took pictures of different things. Purpose of the photo hike is to observe nature things now and then again in two or three months to compare the difference and to see how fast things grow. We saw deer tracks, a dead animal and an opossum. The guides took us to the woods called Mushroom woods. We all had fun and are looking forward to gong back the second time.
