Time: 11:00 am

Meeting Place: Parking lot of the School House. Then we can scope out where we want to paint and move our cars if necessary

What to paint? Although there are old buildings and farm equipment you can try your hand at, there are also a pasture and riding arena. If you are lucky a horseman may be practicing there. Just be advised that horses can be scared of easels. Ask the rider first or observe from a distance. From the school house and other places there are hiking trails up towards windy hill - for an overlook view. Some areas were burned in a fire a few years ago, but other areas were untouched. There are cottonwoods on the far side of the pasture. There is a creek that runs under the covered bridge.
