I went to work this morning with Malinda at Litzsinger Road Ecology Center, which was a private home and grounds but has been donated along with a generous foundation to the Missouri Botanical Garden. Three other volunteers came by and we "cleaned" seeds of prairie plants for several hours. Then I researched Katy Trail campgrounds and nutrition while Malinda worked in the afternoon. Having not heard from Elizabeth Collins, I decided not to try to go to Lawrence but instead to stay here an extra day and then follow the Katy Trail to its end and continue into Oklahoma. After work we swung by REI, where I investigated tent options and got a new water bottle. Then we picked up Corey at Wash U and went to dinner at a Chinese place.
