A letterboxer so very kind mailed a suprise to me and she will find

that when a Round a Drumlin you go a suprise will wait for those who

go. So thanks for kindness it does grow ,now walk this Drumlin high

and low.A afternoon of fun, barns close at 4. From your Friends in

the Cock-A-Doodle-Moo 4-H Club.

On the campus of Uconn track to the top of the Hill.

Rte 195 you take, students rush there still.

Turn onto Horsebarn Hill Rd. between coops and a barn old red.

The Kellogg Dairy facility, you should start I said.

Each place a worthy visit here

Plan to spend some of that time so dear.

You may see a cow named Amy, all black and white.

They cloned her here at Uconn ,what a special sight.

( restrooms available here, your walk will return you to this

point)



Out the door and take a right down the hill you go

Looking for white fences and barns in a valley low.

First you see a cow barn, greenhouse style is new.

Then where piggies live to walk past, and polo ring to view.

The beef and sheep are at home, they live here on the left

Young horses cavort in paddocks where they eat grow and rest.

Onward to the horse barns on the right

See the pretty Morgans once used for a battles fight

After the horse barn look for a special stone

If it could roar you are in the right spot.

You could set a spell or continue on up the hill

No path here along the trees just up then up more still

A little dirt road goes left and right here

Take a walk to sight the horse barn from here.

Some where now, hidden on a stone cold day

Where Racoon track in snow did lay.

Your quest is hidden set close to earth

As if it would have roots and limbs after it sprouts.

Where it sits 14 paces from the old Maple tree

And 60 degrees for ages all.

Stamping UP here so the barn crew won't see

Return it to its den so no one can see

Now on the dirt road go back as you came

Not down the hill that part is not the same

Around the drumlin the road does go

Stop at the back of the George White, the Dairy Bar ... do go

Now there is a road back to the top

Not 195 but between equip shed and building stop.

This access road will safely take you to your car

See the barns, the hilltop is not far.

Hope you enjoy the mini tour of the Universities agricultural features. It is the schools heritage and the future of quality food at affordable prices as farmland is destroyed in the name of progress. Here is the training ground for agriculturalists. People who have a belief that there is a way to produce more food on less land for less cost with minimum help, are these not the most determined people who so quietly provide for each and every one of us on a daily basis.

Appreciate the beauty of the Drumlin this very special hill and the farm here, started by the Storrs brothers and given to the state as a site for an agricultural college; the roots of Uconn.
