Lone Tree on Old Wagner Farm

One of our former grad students and her husband now live on Beaver Island and just bought a 28 acre inland farm. It's going to take a lot of work to turn it back into a working farm, but it's a beautiful place with a lot of potential. They had a party tonight, so that their friends could see their new place.
