I am, it just stinks I have no one to go with, so I won't be in the pictures lol

Unfortunately I cannot sleep at all, and I have to go to the gym at 430am...then at 3pm I have my discipleship, which means I'll have to go hiking sometime between 7am and 1pm... So basically I won't be getting any sleep today.

If you see a set of stairs in the middle of the woods that lead to nowhere, whatever you do, do NOT go up them.

Yes actually. Usually, when you go to a nice park you do get transported to a different time.

let's just say you should stay on the trail and deviate too far from it...

There is one stream there, I know, black and strong which crosses the path. That you should neither drink of, nor bathe in; for I have heard that it carries enchantment and a great drowsiness and forgetfulness.
And in the dim shadows of that place I don't think you will shoot anything, wholesome or unwholesome, without straying from the path. That you MUST NOT do, for any reason. That is all the advice I can give you. Beyond the edge of the forest I cannot help you much; you must depend on your luck and your courage and the food I send with you. At the gate of the forest I must ask you to send back my horse and my ponies. But I wish you all speed, and my house is open to you, if ever you come back this way again.

look up a thing called "Missing 411"

there is this guy who has been researching for years, mysterious vanishings in national parks. people just disappear for no reason. and the parks service stonewalls anyone trying to look into it. they don't want people talking about it

I hiked 1/3rd of starved rock last week. I've mostly been doing forrest preserve trails though, just recently found out there's tons of state parks within 2 hours of me. Starved rock was my favorite, most trails I've done are fairly easy, that one was very challenging, lots of stairs and hills, also beautiful views. I want to check out mathhieson state park sometime, just got no one to go with.

very cool. a few people have told me about starved rock, and now that i look it's certainly very pretty. i'll definitely be checking it out in the next couple of weeks, and perhaps matthiessen too. from one review it sounds like i should wear my swim trunks and jump in the water at one point.

i like hiking alone. people seem more open to that where i'm going (pacific northwest). if you see me, though, say hi.

@dolomedes what other state parks should we check out in ill.?

Of course not. Thats ridiculous.

They get sucked into the past.

I hiked James "Pate" Philips state park today, about a 5 mile hike.

Here is a picture.



The trail circles a wetland area that use to be where a giant glacier was thousands of years ago.

That is a wide trail!

Also, the glacier was probably there, ten to twelve thousand years ago.

nice. i didn't get out today as i go back into work for the week tonight, but have spent much of my day watching hiking videos by kraig adams and mediocre amateur -- my favorite channels on youtube.

currently revisiting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3595IuY0kgE, in which kraig hikes mont blanc, but my favorites are his videos in alaska and in the idaho sawtooths.

so in the next five or six weeks i need to get to volo bog, starved rock, mathiessen, and i'll try to do something in wisconsin ... although i work in ill., i've been living near janesville for about a year and haven't really done or seen anything here.

Nice, I'd be impressed if you all of starved rock in one day. That should take you around 10 hours.

only one way to find out...
i frequently walk ten or more miles a day at work in red wing boots, so lots of practice that transfers somewhat to hiking

that being said, my little trek in rock cut has me sore from the different terrain.

i feel pretty good, though, after having done that... physically, too, in a way i can't explain. only my forearms and face were exposed to the sun, but in a way i almost feel as if my entire body soaked in its rays. i feel warm, charged up, or something like that... do you know what i mean?

Starved Rock total is about 26 miles. I might go to mattheison state park tomorrow, spoiling myself this week. I'm thinking either that or Moraine Hills, moraine hills is closer to me but mattheison is closer to my niece, and I wanted to bring her with.

Didn't go. This is kind of embarrassing, but I had some underwear with some holes on one pant leg and from the 4 mile hike I did yesterday my right leg ended up getting a really painful rash from all the friction but yeah, I'm waiting for my niece to get her driver's license before we head out, I think we'll do the big park 2 hours south.
