Midwest Surroundings: Early Summer Hike

I went on a hike this past Saturday with a few Sierra Club friends (it was National Trails Day, if you didn't know) and can you believe it, on June 7th the starting temperatures were in the upper 60's! Maybe that doesn't seem too spectacular to some folks, but since I am from Florida, I was thrilled. I'll complain about the snow and ice all winter long, but that doesn't mean I want heat and humidity. 60's and 70's are perfect for a trek through the woods.

We went to Big Bone Lick which is a park I often hike and believe have blogged about already. Well, here are more pictures. I don't think I will ever get sick of this park. It is very close to my condo so I come down here for exercise when I'm tired and bored of concrete. Miles of winding paths with lots of elevation changes to challenge me physically, plus a peak at the cows and bison somehow rejuvenate me spiritually.
