The vendor event went really well, and I found a place to take a short hike just a few miles from there on the way back to Chuck and Sylvia's. This is the Baker Sanctuary, through a prairie area and near a marsh. The trails were wide mowed paths

This is a nice prairie landscape.

The best find was trumpeter swans in the marsh. But what is that gray lump?

It's a juvenile swan!

Only two miles, but just a perfect way to stretch my legs. This is just north of Marshall, Michigan.
One more day for the event.
A nice ending to a good day. Glad to hear the vendor event went well
