Rick,
Nice to hear from you. Sounds like you reaped a great bounty nearby. I
wonder if there'll be any migrants out today. I'm going to stop by Layhill
quickly this a.m. and see.
Regarding the paths, most are still deer trails, but some, like the trail
that heads out from the end of the soccer field adjacent to Layhill Rd., are
okay for a while.
I hope to be at the meeting on Thursday. I should see you there!
I hope to see you At 12:27 PM 9/7/98 EDT, you wrote:
