TROY, OH — The Explorers and their families met at Brukner Nature Center in Troy, Ohio early Saturday morning, 11 October 2008 for an early autumn hike.

The club visited a number of habitats at the nature center, including a couple of ponds, a meadow, deciduous and coniferous forests, a steep ravine, and a stream. The members observed and discussed the differences in each of these areas, especially the differing amounts of water and the corresponding variety of life as they traveled from one habitat to the next.
