On Sunday, October 14, 2018, a typical early autumn day — cool, calm, with some clouds — greeted the 18 of us who gathered for the Walk. For nearly 6 hours we meandered through the north end of Central Park — the Pool, the Great Hill, the Loch/Ravine, the Wildflower Meadow, the Meer, and the Conservatory Garden.
