Bring water, a hat, sunscreen, long pants, sturdy shoes, and binoculars.\nTRIP LEADER:\nContact Rich Henderson (tpe.rhenderson@tds.net ( mailto:tpe.rhenderson@tds.net )) or (608) 845-7065. If you plan to attend this field trip, please let the trip leader know at least 12 hours in advance, in case of last-minute changes in the schedule or cancelation due to severe weather. Also contact him if you have questions.\nLOCATION:\nAddress is 8624 Reilly Road, Barneveld.  From the intersection of US Hwy 18-151 and County F (south of Blue Mounds in western Dane County), take F approximately 5 miles south. Turn right onto Reilly Road and proceed to parking lot and kiosks at the end of the road (past the barn). (Note: A half mile down F from 18-151, pay close attention to the road signs, for F turns to the right & the straight ahead road becomes County Z. Stay on F.)\n\n
