Peterson Lake Nature Center — Attraction in Collierville

From the parking lot, walking on the boardwalk, keep taking the rights at the Y's. This is the quickest route to the wolf...

And it's way too well lit at night for setting up a telescope. I don't mind sharing my telescope with others, but it's worthless with all the...
