TRAIL LINK - ULTIMATE FREE TRAIL GUIDE

Yesterday was a terrific day.  I 'discovered' the trailing.com website.  I used the website to find a trail near Champaign, Illinois were I stayed overnight.  My life has changed since I climbed Half Dome on October 1st.  Since I returned from the summit, there is simply no exercise that I prefer to do than strap on my backpack and walk.  I am happy walking anywhere as long as it is outdoors.  I am happier when I discover a new cool place to walk, as I did yesterday at LAKE IN THE WOODS COUNTY PARK in Mahomet, Illinois (just 7 miles west of Champaign)

THERE WERE A LOT OF BRIDGES TO BE CROSSED YESTERDAY.... Including a 'covered' bridge from 1965.

'discovering' a covered bridge on the beginning of the hike...I would return to this spot  later in the day

one of many bridges crossed on my 10 mile hike yesterday

Covered Bridge - 1965

This picture 'brought me back' to Half Dome... I was imagining the sign at the base of the cables and what IT would say..... There would be a square diamond picture of a hiker and underneath it...a rectangular sign proclaiming a 50% grade? 60% grade?  What is it about a 7% grade on a bridge in Illinois that requires such advance warning!
