Comments From Other Members:

When I run at Dodge Park, I don't have a problem with mosquitoes. But when I'm walking, I bring along a spray bottle of vinegar to keep the mosquitoes away.

And if you're new to the park, do not go after a hard rain. The trails usually flood.

I was just at Dodge Park yesterday. So happy the weather is breaking! I love to walk there. It's difficult with my OA but the scenery motivates me.

I also love walking the Dodge Park Trails. But warning..... the mosquiotes will literally eat you alive, bring and use alot of bug spray.

I really like the trail at Dodge Park. It is nice and shady with all of the trees, with the trail running right along the river. I usually ride my bike through it but today I'm gonna try walking from one end to the other and back. Hopefully I won't get eaten alive by mosquitoes.

Chef Meg's Zucchini Muffins

These muffins are very filling!

The whole wheat flour makes for a dense muffin, which I like. You only need to eat one! If you want a lighter muffin try using whole wheat pastry flour, which is more finely ground and available in the bulk bins at larger grocery stores.
