If you find yourself hungry without money or are just tired or the same old noodleroni head for a swamp for a fine meal. That's what Chase told the Explorers Club recently before taking the group to the nearest water. Earlier in spring the cattail pollen was collected and acts like a flour to cook with, if you can collect enough. There's also wild rice in the area but the stands are few and far between now so we got a sample of wild rice from Minnesota which still has Native Americans that collect and sell it. Chase then displayed a main entree of the meal, crawfish.
While the water was warming the group tried hatchet tossing. It's not as easy as it looks at least for the girls. There was also a primitive hut to explore.
Chase brought in some cattail stalks and peeled the root ends for a veggie side dish and combined with the crawdads, lemon and butter it was a meal fit for a king.
