Crow Valley Rec. Area open

[ROSS...@aol.com]

On our way back from Nebraska where we caught the end of the Brood IV 17-year Cicada eruption, we were searching for some odes and tiger beetles in the Pawnee Grassland and happened to go by Crow Valley and found the gates open and the hosts in place and working on getting the place ready for visitors.  The wet areas SW of the cooking shelter were closed off but everything else open.  A huge Black Witch Moth(5-6inches) was taking refuge in the cooking shelter.  Bill and Inez Prather, Longmont
