Randy Strobel and Joanie Furlong arranged a Sunday afternoon field trip to\u00a0Oheyawahi\/Pilot Knob Preservation<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0on September 20. (MAP<\/a><\/strong>) The site is a high bluff overlooking Pike Island. It is a site of cultural\u00a0significance to the Dakota and importance in Minnesota History. The oak savannah habitat is currently\u00a0being restored by the Pilot Knob Preservation Society, who were our hosts. The site is also of geological significance as it overlooks the site where glacial River Warren waterfalls split, one branch migrating up the Mississippi to become St. Anthony Falls.\u00a0Further information: Pilot Knob Preservation Society\u00a0home page<\/a><\/strong>; tour\u00a0photos<\/a><\/strong>.
