Sept. 6, 2018 St. Louis Canyon

We can't have great weather every Thursday.  Today we had RAIN.  We had 12 hardy hikers that stayed in the park and went to St. Louis Canyon.  3 hikers stayed with the scheduled hike of the Illinois Michigan Canal. 

Everyone that walked today was prepared with ponchos, rain coats and hats.  I also had an umbrella.

Puddles were plenty

Most people think the wildflowers are just in the Spring..... Indian Pipe, blooms now.  These are such a treasure to see. 

On our way to St. Louis Canyon.

Haven't seen a waterfall this nice since at least June


Taking a break before heading back

This is the challenge for the day!  Everyone did fine.

Fresh Fungi


Watch your step on the wet boardwalks.  They are slippery, no one fell today.

The Glasinator is really spinning today.

After the weekly hikes, some of the Walker Club members share stories and get together for coffee or other beverages and snacks in the Cafe.
I will leave you with this: If you think adventure is dangerous try routine, its lethal.
