Earlier this month I attended a History at Sunset program at Cedar Creek Battlefield. It had been rescheduled due to a severe storm so not many people showed up. Nonetheless, Ranger Rick gave a spirited tour on geology and hydrology of the battlefield.
The ranger waded into Cedar Creek to demonstrate hydrology techniques. Here is looks for creatures that live in the water as an indication of how clean it is. Turns out it is not too bad.

| The Stickley Farm at Cedar Creek |
By the time we reached the old Bowman-Hite farm, sunset was approaching. We examined shale beside the road and found a piece with a fossil of a small sea shell.
After that we made one more quick stop to talk about the red clay that is prevalent in the area, but it was too dark for any more pictures.
What an interesting day you had!
ReplyDelete...Linda, that first red barn is a charmer! Your part of the world is a delight to see. Thanks for sharing.
