  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…
