It grows wild pretty much anywhere in the open, doesn't it?  I pull the stuff out of my garden every year.

OT: It was a Sunday night. They were very gracious
and tipped me well and gave me a free pass to
their show at Northrup Auditorium!

I think you still have to go through the trees to get where the medallion is.  Last night's clue was "On cross country skis take the trail through the trees".  So maybe you head down the trail into the woods until you come accross the prairie again.

Meadows, pastures, lawns.  In all but the poorest soils it becomes a troublesome weed in gardens.

For the most part the Crew went back to the rocking lobster. They plan to return to Crosby at noon.

I will be at GW sometime after 9 tomorrow night.

Maybe yarrow would only grow there.

It grows in Crosby park. It's a wild flower.

I've liked Battle Creek all along.  I'm still not on the Crosby bandwagon.  :)

Someone said Shepard Rd is going to be closed tomorrow for a marathon that runs from 10:30-2:30.  And they close the road earlier than that and don't open it until the last runner goes through.

Someone said that Shepard Rd. is closed tomorrow for a marathon.  From 10:30-2:00.  Is this a hoax or is there such a marathon?

The entrance by the interstate should would still be open I would think. But I don't know myself.

The race would be the half marathon and frozen 5K.  Starts over by Minnesota Life in St Paul.

I defnantly think it's in one of the wildflower grassy areas near the Pavalion. There's a bunch of wildflower sings like at Phalen last year, and then the one that was posted here a couple times. Bring your rakes!

No, it's probably a hoax.  I read it at the PP site.  Is there a schedule of events anywhere?  Do they even have marathons in January??

To everyone, I highly recommend downloading a trial version of Keyhole.  It is software which allows you to view satallite images from space anywhere in the world.  Right now I'm zooming in on a nice spring/summer picture of Crosby looking for areas where there is prairie.  Here is a link:

Hunters, our friends, we respect your mission,
But false leads are part of the hunting tradition.
Just when you think you've got your bearing
What you're snaring may be a red herring.

Outta - in those egrams, as you open and read - and perhaps reply, there is a "delete and read next", or a "save and read next" link to click on.  Once you've gotten through all your egrams, that blinking new message light by your name will disappear.

Never knew that was there OTS. 

I still recommend Keyhole.com.  The resolution is really good and the navigation is unparalled.
