Wild Edibles at Crex

Ali Corde put on a great program at Crex last Tuesday with samples of some of the wild edible plants available at Crex including: dandelion greens salad,  dandelion flower fritters, dandelion creamed greens, cattail shoots, popped wild rice, fern fiddleheads and pine needle tea. Everything was delicious.  Many thanks to Ali for going through all the trouble she did to collect everything and to the staff that helped her prepare these things for us.

After the program we left the visitor center and were treated to an amazing sight of a  double rainbow. I hurried up to Phantom Trail before it disappeared and took this shot. Crex truly is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
