With another week of the three dog adventure and to beat the heat, McCormick's Creek was our next stop. With it's close proximity to our previous spot and the next spot following it made perfect sense. I'm happy we returned to this park, it is truly one of my favorite Indiana State Parks. This time [...]

With a blanket of snow covering the forest ground and most of this creek, silence enveloped my winter hike. It's amazing how quiet the forest becomes when covered with snow. The silence is refreshing.
April has been the most dramatic in terms of changes in our forest. It has been amazing to watch new life spring up. I always love watching the trees go from bare to buds to full leaves. With this beautiful spring transformation, I am breaking the "rules" by sharing more than 20 photos. Some I [...]

I try and get out for a hike or a 4 wheeling excursion several times a week. Last year, I found it fascinating [...]
