Many may be trying to get some outdoor activities done, like a nature hike, today and tomorrow before the excessive heat rolls in for the rest of the week. A place to enjoy seven miles of hiking trails, along with native flowers in the prairie restoration areas and a variety of crops, is at the Pope Farm Conservancy, just west of Madison, Wisconsin.
