Move On
Quit whining and move on I told myself :) We are parked in a wonderful natural setting and it's time to enjoy it. I grabbed my camera and went for a long walk along the beach. Two deer ran through the woods in front of me but I couldn't get the camera going in time. Ahhh...be prepared.
Here's a view of the beach looking south on a hazy day.The water is about 70 degrees and on the weekends there are quite a few swimmers.
Illinois Beach State Park on Lake Michigan in Zion, IL
Lots of wildflowers grow in the dune grass like this pretty purple blue one. It almost looks like a strawflower...got to do some research.
This is a very good hiking and biking park. Who knows? Maybe I'll get in more exercise and lose a few pounds :)
