Marathon, part 2

Image
I am going to jump ahead to when we returned to Crane Point M useum.  This time we got there in plenty of time to walk around and see the whole place. This is a short version of the history of this place.  It was discovered by Mr. Adderly who came over from the Bahamas.  There was nothing there but the land itself.  He made everything for himself.  To supply himself with what he couldn't do for himself he farmed sponges from the sea and sold them.  His home is still there.  After he died, it eventually was bought by Mr. and Mrs. Crane who maintained and preserved it so that there would no development of buildings there.  It is full of all kinds of trees that are from the area as well as others that were brought in and thrived.  It has a butterfly field and a wild bird rescue center. We rode bikes this time instead of walking.  I rode on a trike which was easy for me except for when I had to go over a driveway and then the bike tried to take me down the slope towards the road.
