		Disc golf! This time we're going to Byron. The [https://udisc.com/courses/byron-links-dgc-421X course] is just south of the Byron west stoplight. We waited until fall to let the wild parsnip flower heads (reported location of the 2nd half of the course) quit shedding pollen everywhere; but you still don't want to touch the plant. If the course turns out to still be too unenjoyable, we'll shift a few blocks NW to [https://udisc.com/courses/klingvall-park-kXgO Kingvall Park], and try their disc golf course instead.

		6 pm

			=== Outside Social: Geocaching, Thursday May 21st ===
			6 pm

			Park and walk a park in NE Rochester, where [https://kroc.com/northern-heights-trail-new-hiking-trail-rochester-mn/ new trails went in] last year.

			Park east of [https://k-lug.org/images/3/32/Northern_Heights_geocaching_parking_202605.jpg Churchill Elementary School] on Northern Heights Drive NE, looks like it might just be a curbside instead of a lot. We'll walk from there through the two stages of [https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCANZKD_northern-heights-park-technetium GCANZKD] in Northern Heights Park, and decide on the fly if we're taking a path out of the NE side of the park to also grab [https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9W5MG_two-of-a-kind GC9W5MG].

			=== Litter Bit Better in-person social (outside), Tuesday April 28th ===
			6:00 - 7:30 pm

			Summit Pointe Park, in NW Rochester. [https://k-lug.org/images/3/38/Summit_Pointe_Park_parking_and_trash_cleanup_boundaries.jpg Park on Shetland Drive NW, and observe the north/south boundaries in the linked map].

			Bags provided. You bring your own gloves, grabbers, and sense of civic duty. Some pond shoreline. Unlike our fall CITOs, in the spring we've got plenty of daylight.

			As usual we are [https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCBM2PG teaming up with the geocachers] to avoid being overwhelmed by garbage.


			=== Outdoor Social: Saturday April 25 ===
			In celebration of [https://nationalkitemonth.org/ National Kite Month], bring your kites and come join us as we try to fly them.

			Saturday April 25th

			2 pm

			Location: [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Redwood+Ln+SW,+Rochester,+MN+55902/@43.989365,-92.4843012,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x87f758cbe6ddd805:0xcbd56f452d52bbef That park by Steve Fox's house], officially known as Pine Ridge Estates Park, on Redwood Lane SW.

			This park has a nice playground for the littles, picnic tables, and room to fly kites, as well as usually being unpopulated. The lack of trees and being on top of a hill mean it's pretty bug free (not that we should hopefully have to worry about that in April) even when there's not enough breeze to fly the kites.

			Please bring your family and friends who might want to hang out. Bring your own kites. If you don't want to sit at the picnic tables or on the playground equipment, bring your own folding chair. And bring your own beverage. Since it's April, we're skipping the traditional ice cream.
