Definately greener than Utah!
I'm a sucker for walking over fallen trees. Its feels very Swiss Family Robinson.

pere marquette
Brad and I went hiking over the weekend. We traveled up the shore of the Mississippi to a little town called Grafton, Illinois - which was adorable! It had little cafes, candy shoppes, old ladies selling jam, and a fisherman's wharf. We didn't have enough time to stop but we are planning to go as our next outing. On the other side of Grafton is a state park called Pere Marquette which is famous for its Bald Eagles. In the fall bird watchers travel from all over the US to see Bald Eagles nest in the bluffs. We were a little early for bird watching but we took advantage of the mild hills which induced a mild form of hiking like conditions. It was great to see more of Illinois and enjoy the last bit of summer before the bitter bitter cold sets in.
