Hike 9-18

[JK Knives]

Went out again this afternoon to one of the hiking areas nearby. Did a 5 mile loop, then headed home.

Typical Illinois prairie.

Some of the trees are already changing colors.

Water in the creeks is really low, not any rain lately.

Little path we took to a pond.

The pond

If you look close, you can see a big frog in this photo

Raccoon tracks

Small swamp in the woods.

Some wildflowers

And what would be a hike without running across one of these guys in the middle of a bike path! What kind is it?

Knife of the day, Victorinox Forester

Just thinking the same, all the great knives he makes and he carries a Vic SAK.

You sure do live in a beautiful place! I'm am quite jealous of the scenery.

Same here. If I had John's skills I would be so weighed down with 01 I wouldn't be able to walk.

Nice pics John.:thumbup:

Every time I make one for myself I end up selling it. I kind of like having a roof over my head, and eating. I`m making a small one for myself right now. How long it will last, I don`t know. My job search is still going on. With my wife`s hours being cut down my toys are being reduced. With my charming personality I`m thinking I should be a Wal Mart greeter, "Welcome to Wal Mart, have a nice day, a**hole!".
