Starved Rock Hike
January 1, 2007


Chris Reynolds and his brother-in-law Eric (visiting from Boulder, Colorado) joined me for this hike at Starved Rock State Park. This was my third time to do this hike on New Years Day. The recent pattern of unseasonably warm weather continues. (Previous hikes 2003 2004 2006)
