On Sunday we attended an old fashioned Potluck at the Cliff and Gay Hall’s place in King’s 
Valley. They have restored the original King’s family home build in 1846 and purchased 160 acres surrounding the home. They are in the process of making this land into a nature preserve.
The people attending were basically three groups: the neighbors, tennis players, and physicians. Cliff is a retired physician and Gay plays tennis. Of course the tables were loaded with a great variety of food and drinks. Everyone enjoyed a great meal and conversation and then several of us took one of the provided maps to take a tour of the farm. All of the animals were in hiding but we did have a great walk.
Most of the pictures I took were around the farmhouse as most of t
he land is covered with newly planted trees and tall grass. The Luckiamute River runs by the farm as well as another small creek runs through the property. The returning of the land to a nature area is a continuing process and the local school children have helped in planting some of the trees.
