Here are some pictures from yesterday's hike around Lake Glendale. If you click on the pictures, you can see them bigger, same is true of other pics on here.
There were a lot of trees down, a couple hanging branches, and a lot of work had been done to keep the trail open. We passed by a couple closed picnic areas, and the closed beach. But it is a great trail, similar to Hargus Lake I blogged about before, but a little shorter and less strenuous. I did see a lot of what I think is Poison Ivy. Bugs were not bad at all.
Emo takes a break in a creek. He had no trouble crossing it. Nice trail, see how wide and well kept?
Here is a bridge over the spillway, and the earthen dam.
The lake from the dam.
Today so far (it's 1 PM Central Time, 2 PM Emo time) we moved camp to site 17 at the:
Little Lusk Trail Lodge
Delwood, Illinois

Peggy had a cancellation. She came by as I was setting up, we had a nice chat. This place will fill with horse people for the holiday, then it should be mellow. She charged me $400 for the month, a little high, but that includes FHU and unlimited electric, and this is a nice place. I'll wait until the horses are here to get some good pictures. It smells a little like a horse place, but I don't mind, and Emo loves it. He didn't seem to get excited by the two horses that went by a little while ago.
I'm all set up except for the radio, I may wait to put my antenna up until after the crowd leaves. Got the utilities hooked up, Emo's long leash tied to the camper step, and the DirecTV is working. I have a strong 3 bar EVDO signal on the Blackberry, and I surfed some on the Mac, this will work great. Not as fast as the DSL line at home, I understand the bluetooth may be the slow part. But plenty good for what I do.
So, we sit fat and happy. This afternoon, I think we may take a long drive, then get some groceries. Life is good!
