  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Kayaking at Summit Lake

    Summit Lake State Park, IN, July 2026 We had time to hike or kayak one last time, and we rented kayaks. If not for the racks, the rental place would look more like a boat junkyard than a rental location. You launch from a muddy beach, so John pushed Kate out into the water. He…

  • Kettle Rest Area Illinois

    Oakwood, IL, July 2026 We were driving from Summit Lake State Park to Comlara Park, and, at around 165 miles into the 260 mile drive, we stopped at Salt Kettle Rest Area off of I-74. The first thing I saw that was interesting was a large pond behind the rest area that people were fishing…

  • A Truncated Hike via Selfie

    Summit Lake State Park, IL, July 2028 The temperature finally cooled off enough for us to go for a walk. As usual, I remember the walk through selfies. In this case, I took a few but not as many as Trail #2. This was our 1st and only attempt during the our stay at Summit…

  • A Walk on the Mild Side via Selfie

    Summit Lake State Park, IN, July 2026 John tends to take a while when photographing insects, birds, etc. I end up getting a little bored. To alleviate boredom, I end up taking selfies. This post is dedicated to selfies and keeping myself entertained while trying not to scare all the bugs and wildlife away. (On…

  • A Walk on the Mild Side

    Summit Lake State Park, IN, July 2026 That title does sound like a lot like a Taco Bell commercial, but the walk certainly was not that wild. Summit Lake State Park has five hiking trails, but two are connected. We had hiked and biked the roads some, but we had not hiked the trails. It…

  • Escatawpa Playground

    Semmes, AL, March 2026 My nephew would absolutely love the Escatawpa Hollow Park and Campground playground. Everything is made of wood vs. metal. The playground has a section for each age group. Along with a rule that states “adults please refrain from climbing on play equipment”.

  • Canada Goose Flash Mob

    Summit Lake State Park, IN, July 2026 Indiana (and Illinois) have terrible roads. You would think that, at least, the interstates would be good, but they resemble a cheese grater more than a road. Maybe each state has a greater purpose. Maybe, God created Indiana and Illinois to grate mozzarella for a giant pizza, hopefully,…
