Gary Condit and the infamous Walnut Grove

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

My mom went to high school with Chandra Levy’s mother (which is actually kinda impressive, considering her graduating class was something like 60 people), so therefore, my mom hasbeen following this entire horrible media debacle with an unwavering passion and interest that I cannot even begin to fathom. Anyway, earlier today, she heard a FoxNews anchor refer to “Gary and Carolyn Condit at the infamous Walnut Grove” and just had to know what this walnut grove was. A quick google search brought back nothing, except that on a November 7, 1977 episode of Little House on the Prairie, the infamous Jesse James gang hid out in Walnut Grove, Minnesota.

So, help my mother. Does anyone else know what thie walnut grove refers to?
