16 volunteers gathered at the check in station on FS road 87 and left for a beautiful drive through FS road 92B and then continued down FS road 192 and visited the Ben Brady house site. A large patch of jonquils were blooming beyond the full standing chimney. The group also located the springhouse with it's rock wall still intact around the spring head. The group also visited the site of old Ballew school located just across from FS road 192 on a hill overlooking the area. The school was a log building and burnt in 1913. Our annual picnic will be held April 6th 10 A.M. at the old B P Brown house site in the Brown Bottom's area on FS road 92B across from the Pumping station/Sellers road. Bring a covered dish, dessert and drink to share. Lunch will start around 12 noon.
