@mathyousee thanks for reading and I am super glad you enjoyed it. I am sure I will at some point put that next part together but after I realized this digging took longer than anticipated it might be a while. 😆

However, Birch Island is not far for a long run for you to get there. Let me know if you want to ever go exploring. 😀

@mroutley thanks for taking the time to read my rambling dive into history.. Ha! However, glad you enjoyed it and you are right it is amazing and one of the reasons I really enjoy running is to stumble across interesting places and things.

@ericmwalk even if it’s forever a part 1, it stands well on its own 😀 I was thinking during my run today that this would be a good excuse to connect on a run, I’d love a tour as I’ve run in this general area before but haven’t explored the Birch Island area.
