Elfland lives, maybe

[ritaxis]

I mentioned Elfland the last time I wrote about getting lost on a hike, and I said it had been destroyed when Colleges 9 and 10 were built. I just bumped into an account which indicates that, as of April 2001, vestiges of Elfland still existed. Also, there's apparently a map of Elfland in its prime, at the McHenry Library special collections.

The author of the 2001 piece apparently thinks that coming off as a dork is somehow desirable, but I'm not complaining because I learned something. I'll be heading up the hill next opportunity I have (not tomorrow or Saturday or Sunday) and checking it out, maybe even reporting on it.
