Hit the early “member’s hour,” but I think all suburban moms must have memberships now. My take after one quick loop around: it’s very scenic, but large sections have no animals and I’m not sure they have all the signage up yet. Do heed the signs that warn of static shocks, though. Love the new section close to the bison and can’t wait for the prairie dogs to return (sign said they will be back).
Just a beautiful day in Inver Grove Heights. Played well from the white tees, saw some scary giant black wasps and encountered more stupid slow play
Felt pretty warm already and the bugs were around 4 out of 10 on the annoying scale
A hilly 10K+ around Afton State Park with deer, a rabbit, a snake, some tiny frogs, a hawk and a bunch of other birds that Merlin said were there (but I didn’t visually see), including cardinals, crows, cedar waxwings, goldfinches, house wrens, mourning doves, blue jays, red-bellied & downy woodpeckers, eastern wood-pewees, wood thrushes, sparrows and eastern kingbirds.
Better overall condition this season compared to last year (hole four on top, hole three on the bottom)
Lots of flying friends, beautiful weather and very, very dry conditions in Jordan
Glad I went to the single track first, as I got caught in the last mile riding home in the downpour. The park is surprisingly green and lush, given the lack of recent rain…
Wonderful outing to The Meadows at Mystic Lake (along with the Minnehaha Cafe and the Meadows Bar and Grille). Huge thanks to Paul Miller for the invite – great work on the finishing holes!
Looking forward to the architect’s discussion on the new Meadows updates
It’s always worth the time to capture nature’s beauty (shot during my morning bike ride through Woodbury)
Clouds are so cool – lots of red on the radar under this one (sadly missed us on the way to cheeseland)
Getting a little brown in Bloomington – great to catch up with Cody and Leitner
The Spring Lake Park Reserve herd was in another area (farther away), but it was so cool to watch them in the binoculars during the big thunderstorm
