Take Only Pictures; Kill Only Time; Leave Only Footprints


A hikers motto.  Take only pictures.  Kill only time.  Leave only footprints.  Brian and I did just that on Saturday at Starved Rock State Park.  We took about a 5 mile hike through several different trails.  Creatures were seen all over the place along with wonderful views of the Illinois River and canyons.  Brian even talked me into eating a freezed dried meal for lunch.  Lasagna.  It was not too bad.  We just had to hurry and boil the water before a park ranger or someone saw us with our little camp stove!

In the Spring there are many waterfalls.  This would be one of the places where a waterfall would be.

King Frog!  The picture really does not do this frog justice.  He was huge!  I named him King Frog.
We thought this fallen tree looked like a horse coming out of the side of the hill.
Isn't it amazing how in our flat state there are places like this!
