Julie planned a fun little excursion up to Pere Marquette yesterday (yes, I said Julie and plan in the same sentence!). Hiking when it's not the middle of the summer is definitely the way to go, and it appears we avoided any fun ticks and odd plants and whatnot, too. The trail we started on didn't have any signs or anything to stay on the trail, and there was this great rock outcropping that needed climbing up a rather steep hill. That's always fun when the ground is basically mud and leaves. Anyway, it's a good thing we started on that end, because at the other end of the trail is where we found the sign saying things like watch out for ticks and please stay on the trail. Oops, our bad, if only we'd known.
So, since we were up in Grafton, and as the whole point of exercise is to be able to eat some good down home greasy food, I suggested we head to Lilly's for dinner. I could have that pork tenderloin sandwich every day for the rest of my life!
Mmm, recalling fond memories of camping and getting lost in the cornfields of Illinois...
Oh yeah, and uh, Happy Mother's Day and all that!
