Enter the Edwin M. Griffin Nature Preserve from Woodburn, cross the field and take the left branch of the Cottonwood Trail. The path will take you through bushes and grasses growing taller than your head alongside a small stream. There will be the mailbox on a post with a sign that says, "Fish Show". The door has been broken off the box for a long time now. Inside there used to be a supply of Saltines in a plastic bag with instructions to crumble some and throw them in the nearby pool. Look at the place where the sun shines on the water and soon you will see minnows swimming up to the surface to nab the crackers.
Today I replaced the long absent crackers. I put them inside a plastic tube with instructions and put that inside the mailbox.
There are minnows in the wetlands water and there is a graceful tree with white blossoms at the very top of the Highland Trail.
It is still cold, high today 53. In the mountains, it is still snowing. Sunday will be Easter.
