The ditches of Oak Point Road are filled with Golden Alexanders. They provide camouflage for wildlife right up to the roadsurface, which is dangerious for drivers. The plans are are still on for a new road surface on Oak Point Road, but it's August already. I walked the road just about every morning with a neighbor this past week. I try to get started about 7:00 am. Saw several deer, some with fawns and one bear cross the road in front of us. On weekends we see more exercisers on the road, usually not so early, walking, jogging and riding bikes. We have a relativly level route north of Oak Point Estates and Chippewa Beach areas. There is not that much vehicle traffic early in the morning, if we see anyone they are usually neighbors who might stop and chat or the mailman.
Bear hunting in Minnesota starts in one month on September 1st. Deer hunting starts that first weekend in November. I don't hunt either. Seasons will begin to change fast and we still have not had much warm weather yet.
