  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Another World’s Largest!! – Square Knot

    Comlara Park is home to Lake Evergreen and the World’s Largest Square Knot. I find it interesting that the Knot is a world’s largest, but I am unable to find the knot in the Guinness website. The best part of this find was that we are staying at Comlara Park and didn’t know at the…

  • A Limit of One Cat Per Hand…

    When Kate and I talked about cats, I always told her that she could only have one cat per hand because you can not pet more than two cats at once. If you have more than two cats, the cats will feel neglected. She would also be in danger of being a crazy cat lady.…

  • Once in a Blue Supermoon

    Comlara County Park, IL, August 2024 There were three days of blue supermoons in the middle of August 2024. Blue supermoons usually happen about once every ten years, but oddly, August 2023 had a blue supermoon too. A blue moon can be several things. A monthly blue moon is two full moons in a single…
