Not quite warm enough for good fishing....

Chevy Chase Country Club Golf
I love your golf course, playing from the black tee offers more challenges. Your fairway is excellent, the green I would say it's a true green most of the holes. ChevyChase offers challenges to most average players. I wish I could play the course much but it's sort of expensive for me as non-resident especially on the weekend. I wish I had the privelege like the residents. I would love to play here every weekday and weekend. Thank you from tonyelazegui@yahoo.com...

Lake Defiance Nature Trail
17 miles away
The Red and Yellow trails are good too, but the Blue is such a delight that the thought of it gets me off the couch. The prairie! Luscious theme park sized soil undulations caused by the glacier! Interesting gravel. You sense the deer watching you. About an hour around if you are walking for fitness.  Avoid only when icy.  Plenty of parking....
