  1. Just stumbled on the Blog. Thanks for doing this.

    I live just across from the Doughreagan (Douhhoregan as Warfield spelled it) Stone on Rushlight Path and noticed that the oak has lost a large branch. Any idea if the stone is maintained by Columbia Association? Someone needs to clean it up. Luckily the big branch did not shatter the stone... just missed it.
