I told Pat I was leaving for school early. It was a beautiful day. I wanted to call Bonnie from the car. Having a conversation without Pat asking questions during and after is lovely. Ultimately she went on the "walk" with me. Via telephone.
The map said it's next to the East 40, so I parked there and started hiking--in clogs. I was dressed for school, not hiking. I found the bee boxes, and lots of signs saying stay on the paths, bees at work. I decided to return to the main path and go in the next entrance. There was picnic tables near the entrance. That's where I saw all these little messages on the trees. The handwriting is different on some so they weren't all made by the same person. They followed this winding path. Self-help? Inspiration? Who knows. I followed the little signs and ended up on the far side of the woods facing the subdivisions. I turned right and followed a grassy path that seemed to go nowhere.
At some point I said to Bonnie I'd be thrilled with the sight of a parking lot or the college. And I was more than a bit worried about getting to class on time. Finally I could see the building and the lot. (I was near the N on the map compass.) It was 3:00. Class started in a half-hour. I never found really found the walking path. Although right before the clearing I saw another path go into the woods. I might try that a different day. One day when it isn't muddy.
