Covid put a hamper on many things even the ability of the museum to mow the grass, which continued into this spring. Bill Clune came out Wednesday in a vein attempt to mow a range for us. Fortunately, one of the museum personal realized futility of this and borrowed a brush hog from a neighboring farmer and cleared a proper Range.
