but so many final destinations remain.

If you hike this site today, you may hear fast cars,

But in 1879 your ears might hear saws.

Rushing water, lumber processed for building fine homes,

and oxen trained so well, the owner could direct with just a ‘gee’ or a ‘haw’.

A pea gravel trail winds along its namesake creek,

You might still spy invasive ivy but native plantings take shape,

Keep an eye out for birds and other small creatures,

Enjoy flowering red current, ponderosa pine, and Oregon grape.

It’s history runs deep but it’s access is new.

Take a stroll, find a dam and you’re well within reach.

If the medallion you seek, it isn’t far now,

Keep exploring, adventuring, the next clue, it will teach.
