Watch for the county park entrance pullout and gate, on right (west) side of the road. There is no road sign marking the park or the pullout, but you'll see a sign at the gate. There is one main trail, but to continue on the trail to the meadow, make a left at a "Y", and take the trail across the creek bed, which will continue to this area. > > ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
