Out For The Day

[JK Knives]

Connie got off work early, so we decided to go out for a hike and a picnic lunch. We drove down near Morris to Goose Lake Prairie. We walked a 5 mile loop, and then had lunch. Enjoy the photos.

Looking over a pond at a log cabin.

This is a replica of a two story cabin built in the 1830`s. The original was part of the Underground Railroad.

Part of the natural Illinois prairie.

Saw this little guy in the parking lot.

Knife of the day, my Ti Framelock. I`ve been carrying it daily, and using it for all my knife chores.

Hi John -

Cool pictures - that looks like a big park.

Odd to see that turtle in the parking lot - they are looking to lay eggs this time of year - maybe they paved over her birthplace....

Thanks for the pictures - glad you and the Boss got some time together.

best regards-

It is a big park, one of the trail loops is 20 miles. The turtle was a small one, maybe 2" diameter.

Definitely looked like a good day out. Looks like both of you enjoyed yourselves.
