Lunch/Brunch – Prepared by Kevin Parentin with a little help from his friends. Kevin brought chili. Michael made a lentil dish and corn bread. Leslie made Caesar Salad.

It was a brisk, sunny 27 degrees when we started. It rose to 34 degrees. Barometric pressure was falling and the wind was from the west at 10mph. We headed west out the driveway to look for the foxes that live in the bluffs. We worked back and forth along the bluffs but didn’t find anything. We then worked our way toward the hog farm. Carlie Beisel and Steve viewed a coyote from the truck and most of the whips viewed but the hounds couldn’t seem to hold a line. We went on into Deutschland and looped around and headed back to the clubhouse.
