My husband got a gps for Christmas. Ha! I think he has used it twice. I prefer to use a map...but it could be that's what I am more used to.

beautiful scenery and photos!

Thanks for the info. Another great place to view eagles is at Gray's Lake. We counted more than 11 eagles on the ice on Wednesday during our Birding program. Come out this Wednesday at 11:00 (meet at the beach) to look for more.

Kimberly, Thanks for asking. I'd suggest any Fandex guide. If you can buy local, you might want the foldable (and laminated) cards that places like the Historical Museum downtown in Des Moines or the Neal Smith NWR in Prairie City might have.

I think you can help me! I've been wanting to find nature guides on birds and trees to take geocaching in Iowa with my two pre-school age daughters. It seems most of the nature guides are just too big, or too intense for the girls to be able to gain any success searching for what they see. Any suggestions?

I used to cache in just about any weather. It seemed once I reached a certain milestone, I didn't enjoy hiking through deep snow for the cache! I've become a bit of a fair-weather cacher now, so I'm looking forward good weather!

lutheran hospital is also where you want to park for an urban geocache, GCQ5MR Altar of the Nation. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=97364fdb-4d0e-43c5-a3e9-572b5315e584

I used to play with pokeberry as a kid - ink, ink bomb, etc.

I never knew what these were!

I did read about milk sickness when we visit Lincoln's boyhood home. I also heard many stories about it from my father, who vigilantly walked our pastures to make sure we did not have any poisonous weeds.

Great timing with this post. We have been researching this after finding a large new pokeberry along the drive. I am in the process of cutting it down due to the toxic factor. Although my kids understand the importance of not eating the berries, they are very tempting and too accessible for visitors who may not know better.
