  • Comlara Park Spillway Update

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 We just dropped Mackie off at the vet for surgery to address his bad teeth and potential abscess from the bad teeth. On the way back to the trailer, we went to the Comlara Park Spillway. I was curious to see how rain last night and another flood warning impacted…

  • Flash Flood Warnings

    Hudson, IL, August 2026 We have lived through a tornado. Now, we had the chance to live through a Flash Flood Warning. Comlara Park had a major dry spell, and everyone in the area was stating “We really need rain.” We had 2 days of steady rain, and the flash flood warnings started to come…

  • Bald Eagle

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 I absolutely love the bald eagle because of their size, beauty and grace. Did you know? The US added the bald eagle to the Great Seal of the US on June 20th, 1782. You would think this means the bald eagle was the US national bird. It wasn’t. In 2024,…

  • 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…

  • Like a Rainbow

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 While John was gaming, I walked to the lake and saw another colorful sunset. I couldn’t resist taking more pictures. I shared the pictures with the park staff who posted them (minus the selfie) on the parks Facebook page. In less than 24 hours, the pictures had 1,490 views (typical…

  • 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…
