Aside from the pines that dot the area, the simple roads that have taken the place of worn paths, and railroad tracks that form a rough boundary at the bottom of the property, probably not much has changed since this land was the hunting grounds of the Native Americans. The hawks still soar above. Deer, bobcats, beaver, and raccoons carry on their own quiet community. The creek persists in carving out its bed and occasionally tumbles down rock ledges to form delightful waterfalls. Hardwoods still stand guard over the bluffs and ridges, releasing their leaves in the fall to thicken the carpet of the forest floor. And high up on the ridge where the landscapes of hills and valleys extend for miles, the sunrise continues to be a spectacle each morning just as the sunset’s diminishing glow across the huge expanse of the sky continues to signal the nocturnal animals each evening that it’s time to awaken.
