My older son is trying to decide whether to attend The University of Michigan or Michigan State University, so yesterday we attended Campus Day at U of M. We were told that Robert Frost is believed to have been inspired to write "The Road Not Taken" while visiting the U of M Arboretum. Perhaps this legend is true. It is certainly a good excuse to read the poem again.
P.S. I just changed the link for the poem, so readers can enjoy it without seeing ads.
During my years at U-M, I lived in Markley Hall, just up the street from Nichols Arboretum. I spent a lot of time walking and exploring the Arboretum. It's truly a gem of a place, an unexpected little oasis.
