I took the rest of this week off. Today, I decided to drive to Glacial Park Nature Preserve in Ringwood IL, which took me about two hours to get to. I read they had a nice hiking trail and while I hadn’t ever hiked before, I thought it was something that I might enjoy. My goal on the hike was to take one picture that I could print out and hang on the wall of my newly finished house. All of my pictures are here. Most aren’t very good, but there are two that I think I’d be happy with on my wall. So, when I move back home, one of the first things I’m going to do is have a print made of one or two of them.

The weather was a bit rainy, as you can tell from the photos. I had intended to hike about four miles, but as I thought it was going to start raining harder, I ended up on a smaller loop that was just over two miles. I was fine, though I think in the future I’d prefer to hike with other people. I had tried to get someone to come with me on this one, but I had no takers that could make it.
