A Thank You Note

Found this nice letter in the Update mailbag today…

Louise Dustrude does some bird watching from the new blind on the Westside Lake Trail – John Dustrude photo

To the editor:

We’d like to give a big thank you to the Land Bank for the new bird blind on the little trail next to West Side Lake. It provides an ideal way to watch the ducks on the lake sight unseen. And, made entirely of cedar, its aroma is wonderful.

Thanks to Doug McCutchen and the crew of Land Bank volunteers who built it and to Leslie Veirs whose idea it was.

Louise and John Dustrude

[Edit – Google maps calls it “Carefree Lake”. Here’s a link to a map. If you drive north on West Side Road, past Lime Kiln Point State (Whale Watch) Park, up the hill and around the corner you will see a lake at the right side of the road. Just past the lake is a parking area and a loop trail. It’s a short trail so either way you walk you’ll find it.]

[Another Edit and another map – Here’s a link to a map sent over from Judy at the Land Bank. Thanks Judy!]
