Listen to Garden Talk on public radio. Short version is black walnut is very bad for other plants. Not sure about mulching with it but the poisons in the root system are notorious for eliminating anything else trying to grow.
I can’t remember getting a tick growing up either and I would spend most days either on the woods or fallow fields on the southern edge of Marinette.
Haven’t had one out here either, but people I have cached with have.
23 yesterday. The predicted call came just as I drove up to #1. She just wanted to de-stress. She and the kids should be home in two weeks, just as we get done with school. It will be great having them here again.
A little research and reaching out to locals tells me the casino south of Chiloquin sells premium. 54 miles taking the route there without cache side trips means I am good to go for tomorrow’s trip.
I am predicting a call from my wife asking what I am doing mid route.
Sunny and 80s today, as it’s been all week. Monday is cloudy and rain, highs in the 60s. Temp should stay there all week.
Finding one cache tomorrow fills the days for this month, that will be two so far.
