Vitner, the hike only runs from Memorial day to Labor day, he will do it the whole week after Labor Day this year, last year he did it til October. He doesn't get paid, so he stops doing it when the weather changes.
He goes up the mountain, he has had as many as 28 people join him. He points out nature things (that is a scientific term  ). He does that twice a week and then one night a week he does a slide show on the natural beauty of the Dells and surrounding area. It says the tours last an hour, but it is usually longer as he gets a lot of questions . People really want to know what else to see and do in the area that shows the natural beauty.
We stay here from around Mother's Day til mid to late October.
When we go to Florida, he is the volunteer naturalist at the state park near our home.

Cool
That sounds like fun. If we get to CMV during the summer next year, I'll have to try to get in on the science thingies.

We have reservations over fall break (last weekend in Oct). Is there anything going on at the Dells during that time? We'll be staying at CMV. Or should I change the reservations elsewhere (within in driving distance of Indy). If so, suggestions? Oh, and we own BG.

The nature walk sounds wonderful! We will be there over Labor Day. What time is the walk and where do we meet? Do you have many kids join you? My kids are 9 and 13.
thanks!

He has put his photos on a CD. However, we don't have any way of labeling them. We fooled around with Power Point but got nowhere. but yes he has a lot of photos of the area and also of the wildflowers in bloom at CMV. We have really slow internet sevice so we aren't successful at sending them via email.

Is this a children's themed park? I remember taking my daughter there about twenty years and you saw nursery rhyme characters. It seems like something else is in that spot though. I can't find it in the phone book. A lot of smaller attractions have sold out to biggr concerns. It is possibly now a mini golf.
