2017 Osage-Orange Road Trip

Since snow is forecast for the weekend. Joan and I decided to make our annual trek for osage-oranges.
 
The Mill Pond on Rt. 90 was without birds. There is a sign near the street announcing a Christmas pageant at the Seven Day Adventist school.



Entering the village of Aurora we drove slowly up to the Morehouse residence. The area under the Osage Orange tree was densely covered. Turning around in a driveway we parked on the Osage Orange tree side of the road.
Mrs. Claire Morehouse, the owner of the tree, has us permission to collect  as many Osage Oranges as we wished.


We filled 11 Wegmans  bags.  We took trip to Long State Park, but before reaching the entrance we stopped along the road to gather some bittersweet. The park was quiet with no bird activity and one lone car with driver.

Making our way home we went passed the tree outside Scipio Center. The road was covered with rotten Osage Oranges and since we had an abundance we did not stop.

We concluded our trip by shopping at Aldi's.
