We did a little hiking in the area around the Cache river. There were some beautiful, green woods. The only downside were lots of ticks. Liza had 3 on her by the end of the day.
The area has some very rocky and hilly areas, a nice contrast from the flat lands of Chicago. That's Yannie in front of the cave.
There were dragon flies everywhere and we discovered that, in the swamps, there were absolutely no mosquitos. Apparently, any that would even get to hatch would be immediately eaten by dragon flies or birds. It was amazing to be in such a lush, swampy area without mosquitos!
This is one of the largest cyprus trees in the area. While it was not the "state champion" cyprus, it was pretty big.
