Thumbnails to Show You the Way

1. Park in the parking area near the pavilion.
2. To begin your hike, find the paved trail that starts between two green poles (facing the pavilion, you can find this trail entrance to your left).
3. Once on the trail, follow it to the right, passing the pavilion on your left.
4. Continue following the path straight ahead, passing a bench on your left and the pond/fountain on your right.
5. Once you pass another bench and a white brick building on your right, continue following the path as it goes through a row of trees and around a grassy field (do not go toward the small parking area to your left).
6. When you reach a fork in the trail, follow the path that veers left, passing the pond/fountain on your right.
7. Continue following the path as it makes a “U” shape, and you will find the post ahead on your left (if you are lucky, you may also get to see some farm animals to your left).
8. To return to your car, continue following the path ahead, passing a small gazebo on your left and the pond/fountain on your right.
9. At the fork, facing the tennis courts and playground ahead, take the path to the left and follow it back to the parking area.

Snippets of Information

• Clay can be pinched, rolled, cut, or built up in layers to form shapes.
• As clay dries, it hardens and many times it is placed in a kiln to dry and harden it.
• Clay can often be found where water once was, like in a dried-up stream.
