| | 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. |
