Re: Virgil Phillips Farm

["Diana Livada" <dlivada@moscow.com>]

I like the idea.  It's a fun place to slip out to for cross-country skiing
although it would be better if the driveway on top would get plowed to allow
parking.  I also like to walk there even though it is somewhat close to the
highway because there is so much nice land (trees, creek, hawks, etc.).
Will the park meet the mandates or criteria that are tied to this land?  Who
proposed this?  Again, I like this idea.

The farm is located 5 miles north of Moscow up Highway 95--just over
Steakhouse hill.  It's a real treasure if you haven't been out there.
