Our Hike to the River

One of the highlights of our trip was our hike down by the Whetstone River in Claridon led by our fearless leader, my brother John. Here we are following John through a cornfield.

John remembers as a kid often tramping up and down the river. When someone recently mentioned to him a certain spot in the river where there are some curious, unusual rock formations, John lit up and said, "I know exactly where that is!" After some research, he found an article in the newspaper from the thirties which tells a legend of an Indian princess related to that spot. So we all enjoyed our adventure to see that special, though relatively unknown place in the river called "The Pool of Ma-Hee-tah."
