Memorial Day 2009

Our first family camping trip of the year.  It is a beautiful county preserve that we frequent quite regularly.  As depicted in the pictures, the scenery is quite varied.  Part of the park is a wonderful walk in the woods, and other parts are wide areas of prairie ground.

The wooded area of the park is great to take a drive, take a walk, or if you prefer, a horseback ride.  There is even a spot in the road where you have to drive through a small creek.

There is even an interesting spot near the campgrounds that used to be a farm field.  Even though it was converted over many years ago, you can still pick out some of the farm lanes that were used to navigate around the field.

Of course, there is always life around the campsite.  This year we had about nine people in camp and we were able to put together quite a nice little campsite compound.
