Pipestone and Poison Ivy

What is that red stuff?  No, not the rock mom.  The red plant.  POISON IVY!  Wow, when they say stay on the trail they mean it.  Red, green and dancing in the wind the poison ivy lives on.  Kari tugged at her pant leg and said "I still have scares from camp."  She must just attract the stuff.  The red rock was more appealing at the Pipestone National Monument were you can sit and listen to flute music.  The quarry for harvesting the sacred stone was filled with some water and a walk in honor of the red rock monument is being held in July.  This could be fun to attend if I remember to plaster on some poison ivy protection.  They are looking for people to take pictures of the Monument and entries are due August 20th.  In reading up on the monument I learned that 8 feet of the waterfall Winnewissa was blasted away to make more land for the Pipestone Indian School.  Winnewissa means jealous maiden.  Why would any maiden be jealous if she had a home as grand as Minnesota.
