[Vision2020] Moscow Mountain Preserve

[Warren Hayman]

Jeez Bob,

Will you shut up about the botanical wonders of Idler's Rest? I'm 
somewhat familiar with the place, and it's popular enough now, thank 
you very much.

The orchid secret is out. Thanks much. Can you now remain silent on the 
other species?

Warren Hayman

PS-- If you mention the mycology of the place, I will buy an ATV in 
order to run you over.
