Fort Snelling State Park: Minnesota DNR
Hiking Club Miles: 3.0
Miles Earned On: 10/23/10
Critter Card Found On: 10/23/10
Geocaching notes: The park ranger was very helpful in showing us how to enter coordinates in the GPS. They neglected to show us how to do that in the class we took at William O'Brien. Chris learned a new word - confluence.
Bird Card Found On: 04/08/14
Hiking notes: We stuck to the Hiking Club Trail, when we could find it. Either many of the club signs had been stolen, or the trail was poorly marked.
Park comments: On Pike Island, you're able to walk up right to the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. Even though it was a bit rainy, the park was busy.
