Matthiessen State Park
Matthiessen State Park
I went hiking with Christian Wietholt and his family along the trails near the Vermilion River in Matthiessen State Park. I decided to try this section as the trail network is smaller than the main area of Matthiessen State Park. That way if Christian’s daughter got tired, we could get back to the car faster. I tried out my Osprey Hydraulics 2L reservoir with my little REI day pack. It worked really well and didn’t feel heavy at all. I mostly used my Panasonic camera but I did take a few photos with my new Moto X Pure edition. I wonder if the main section is more scenic. Maybe Starved Rock State Park is next.

I plan on checking out Tame Impala’s latest album. The previous two were pretty solid although I like their first album more than the second.

With the new Photos, Stories don’t let you comment on individual photos. So here are some photos from a trip to the Chicago Botanic Garden during the Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to see the corpse flower ‘spike’.
