Drove by the PP on the way to work. Line was long and more were coming. The crew was painting up the CamoCrues van and then heading over.

Yarrow is a wild flower on the sign at Crosby, right?

is that 7? yarrow is a flowering plant that needs full sun....little maintenance..so it's not even going to be in the woods, but stuck to the ground out in the open???

Yarrow has a mustard-yellow flower, and it dries nicely.

So I guess that means the puck isn't hidden inside anything. That would make sense, because with the little snow we've had, any object that stood out, like a mitten or a bag of chips or what have you, would be found easily. So if the puck is made of clear plastic, and it's just laying on the ground, it would be harder to see and find.
