The culvert bridge to Old Woods (NE part of property) was washed away about 1st of June, 2009. Property Management Committee chair and his son replaced it with a sturdy and probably long lasting bridge on the October work day. It's made of railroad ties. Much more attractive than a culvert, don't you think?

Fall trees in 2009 were again magnificent, especially if you came to the Prairie Work Day in October.

Down below the photograph of fall trees is a Brown snake (Storeria dekayi) found that day. It was full grown -- only about a foot long.
