  • New Business Plan …

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 Toupees for eagles! Think about it. There are more than 400,000 Bald Eagles in North America alone. It is an untapped market. We will be setting up a go-fund-me site to start this up. Premium early donors will get a free toupee for their eagle! And now, back to our…

  • Burr, It’s Hot

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 Kate finally found something that her iPhone could not take a decent picture of. It was the small white flower in the previous post. The R7 did an okay job, but it was just using the 55-250 mm lens, which is not the right choice. Despite being 85+ degrees and…

  • Which One is the Ass?

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 What is your answer? This three month old donkey is named Dally. We were told who he was named after, but we do not remember. The donkey was rescued from people who were not caring for him. He was one of a pair of twins, but the other twin did…

  • Comlara Biking Sunset

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 Another night of John gaming, and I’m out and about. This time, I road the bike around the park and took pictures of different sunset views. Unfortunately, I had sun glared off my phone lens. So, I have an extra sun ring in the pictures. The pictures below were taken…

  • Lake View Park Trail Part 2 without the Creepy Spiders

    Hudson, IL, August 2026 The prior post had John’s pictures including the very scary and creepy spiders. Those spiders are the reason why I’m scared of spiders even the tiny ones. John offered the pictures to the park and the park was worried the post would scare campers and visitor away. I’m not the only…

  • Lakeview Nature Trail at Comlara Park

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 Like so many other park trails with Lakeview in the name, it does not have much of a lake view. You can see the lake at the trail head, but you quickly move away from it. Oddly, the Mountain bike trail that spurs off of the lake view trail has…

  • Comlara Park Trails, Knot, and Boat Ramps

    Hudson, IL, August 2026 You know how you have one of those days where everything seems to go awry. That was today’s adventure. Our original plan was to hike the Lakeview Nature Trail around 4 pm. We got out to the trail closer to 4:45 pm. Then, Kate needed a bathroom break and none was…

  • Primitive Hiking

    Comlara Park, IL, July 2026 No, this is not hiking wearing animal skins and stone shoes while carrying a club. There is a primitive campground on the other side of the lake with a hiking trail loop. Despite having camped at Comlara Park several times, we have only hiked less than 10 total miles on…

  • Kitties Enjoying the Great Outdoors

    Comlara Park, Hudson, IL, July 2026 We believe Mackie was an outdoor cat before we adopted him. He absolutely loves going outside. Since he’s now a geriatric kitty (15 years old), we don’t let him roam around. Instead, Mackie happily lays in John’s lap and claws his legs. Cleo isn’t a lap cat and prefers…

  • Comlara Park Sunset

    Hudson, IL, July 2027 What do you do on miserably hot and humid day? You go out and take sunset pictures. My original plan was to walk to the bathhouse and was deterred by just how beautiful the sun was. John believes the color was the result of haze and moisture in the air. I…
