You must...
Sunday night in the Lodi Marsh was a good night hike even though the clouds didn't cooperate. The real bummer about cloud cover is that I had arranged for an astronomer to bring his telescope. We...
Never too early to think of spring cleaning with trail maintenance. A different approach we are able to employ in Dane county is prescribed burns for prairie restoration. Get in touch with Gary...

That is some beautiful map you've picked to explore. Did you already make the trip? If not, the Visitor Center is really worth it, trail is well used, and Cornell has a few interesting historical...
