day it was not hard to believe his tales abbut the happy hunting ground ofr at least 60 species of dinosaur who roamed these hills 100 million years agq nor did it seem fantastic that the smallest dedicated church in the world stands at the entrance to this fairyland which nature has car ved over the centuries from the glacial age through the stages of what is suspected to have been an inland
