Rockwood Range, which is next to 
Greensfelder County Park, which is
next to Six Flags Theme Park, which
is in Eureka, Missouri, is full of
invisible cobwebs and seed ticks.

I thought that the ticks would be
bigger by now, but Elaine suggested
that because of the dry weather,
they are 'behind schedule'.  There
were so many on our clothes after
hunting caches in the woods, we
must have spent 20 minutes shaking
and pounding and spraying our
clothes when we got back to the
car.  We did a body check when
we got home and soaped up real
good in the shower.

If they are this bad in Rockwood
Range, I'm sure that the wooded
parks all along highway 44 to Fenton
have the same problem.  So be aware.
