Casey Property Trip This Saturday
We'll meet at 10am at the transportation hub in the parking lot behind Jack Trice Stadium:

Look for the big,white vans.
Free parking all day. You MUST ride with us. Because it is private property you cannot be there without an English Department faculty member.
Feel free to bring food and water, but make sure not to take food past the parking lot.
Wear old jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, and shoes you won't mind getting muddy. Come prepared for rain, as we'll be out there rain or shine.
At least one person in each group should bring and camera and a field guide (you can find these at the library).
