Bring a lunch, beverage or water, and all the ingredients needed for a successful biking and birding outing. We will pedal leisurely, looking for birds and wildflowers, and go as far south as our time and energy permit. Let's plan to return to Harrison by lunch time, where we can eat our lunch in the park, and maybe partake of an ice cream cone when done. Please let either Dick or me know if you are coming, and if no one is still at the ranger station when you arrive, head to Harrison where you should encounter the group.Bring a lunch or you can get good deli sandwiches at the Grocery store across from the park.
