Dallas Retirement Village residents Vern and Anne Beeson put together a bus trip to Fern Hill Wetlands in Forest Grove. DRV provided the bus and driver, Lane. Fourteen residents braved the rainy weather for this adventure. Enroute, we made a stop at the Carlton Bakery for some extra energy. Fern Hill is a part of more than 700 acres in Forest Grove owned by Clear Water Service for water resource management. Jeanette and I, with our friend and fellow resident, Dan Sewell, did the Fernhill Lake Loop, putting together an impressive bird list which you can see here.

After everyone got to explore as much as they wanted of the impressive grounds, the trails, and the ponds, we boarded the bus to go to McMenamins Grand Lodge for lunch.
