F. Gilbert Hills State Forest is where my hiking group went today. We saw some wonderful color in the leaves reflected in Sunset Lake. Most interesting was the man who donated the forest to the state. Rev. William Barton donated the land around the turn of the century. That's over a thousand acres. I was impressed with the wild rhododendrons. They must be beautiful in bloom. Mrs. Barton even had a secret garden with a statue of Pan in it.
