Leaving the hill

 This is the path that I followed to return to the lower ground. It was very steep in places and actually a bit dangerous. If I had realized how steep it was going to be, I would have borrowed one of the walking sticks that I found near the bottom of the stairs.

 Almost back to the flat river valley, I found this lumber yard hidden in the woods. It looked like they prefabricated house parts under the roof, but I could not be sure. The man on the far left was doing something with newly cut wood but I could not see what it was.

Back near the stream, I found this greenhouse. Believe it or not, this is asparagus. It appeared that they were letting it grow so that they could harvest the seeds.
