Minnesota has many caves, <br />some known nationally. Carver's was the earliest <br />cave in what is now the US to be described in <br />published literature after Jonathan Carver's visit <br />ten years before the Revolution. Fountain Cave <br />was the birthplace of the capital city. St. Paul. Specialized uses included for beer, <br />cheese. mushrooms, and as nightclubs. Mystery and Niagara are the state's best <br />known show caves. Far north, the violent waves of Lake Superior hammered out <br />caves accessible only by kayak. Other caves were purely mythical. Leam about <br />all of them from the geologist who wrote the book on the subject. Copies <br />available for purchase. <br />• Help us get rid of buckthom! On the second Saturday of every month volunteers <br />get together to clear invasive buckthorn from around Sunfish Lake Park. We've <br />made a lot of progress so far, but there's plenty more to do. We meet at 9:30, <br />and we have gloves, loppers and daubers for people to use. Our next buckthorn <br />removal day will be Saturday, September 9. Hope to see you then! <br />
