The actor, Dennis Weaver owned acres of beautiful land
outside of the town of Ridgeway, and much of that land has been donated as a
City Park. The
symbol of the park is a flying bald eagle -- a tribute to a poem about an
eagle, written by Weaver. At the
entrance to the park is an bronze bald eagle atop a tower of boulders. The sculpture
weighs 2,800 pounds and has a wingspan of over 20 feet.
Adjacent to the park are large housing lots, some of which are on
sale. The homes are far apart, in the
rolling hills, with fantastic views all around. A retirement location for us? Probably not -- it's pretty far from most
things, although there's a great Thai restaurant in Ridgeway. And it probably gets mighty cold there in the winter!
