visit Starved Rock State Park - Utica, Illinois

No pooping while falling...
I caught it!
wild Vizsla


sounds bad
cool caves
425 million year old sandstone... 
this is my kind of hiking


We had a fun empty nesting day of "hiking" in Starved Rock State Park.  There are 13 miles of boardwalk ish trails that are nicer than the deck in my back yard.  The area got it's name from an historic Indian fight in the 1760's where one tribe was surrounded by the enemy tribe on the bluff and then starved to death-- no snacks at happy hour for them...

Since I am counting my daily calories backwards from my cocktails I might have been ok...
