Day 199-201. Works from Vacation

We had such a good time, if you haven't been early spring camping, it's definitly something to try.  Boy it was cold at night!  Luckily there was a propane heater in our cabin.  We actually saw someone tent camping-I don't think I could be that bold.

Here's a synopsis of our mini-vacation:

Day 1, Monday. We drove up from Chicago to Kalamazoo, MI where we had a lovely lunch with my parents along the river.  Then we drove on to the cabin where we immediatly built a fire to keep warm.
Day 2, Tuesday.  We woke to a beautiful sunny day.  The first photo is the first thing I saw in the morning.  We hiked almost all morning-afternoon and soaked up the sun and natural beauty.  We returned to build another fire and made a gourmet camping dinner.
Day 3, Wednesday.  We cleaned the cabin and loaded up the car.  Then we went for our final hike and got lost. It's funny how the state parks wouldn't include a lake on their hiking map...Then we had a great lunch at Duda's with real homemade peanutbutter, chocolate pie..mmm...and then came home.

Wildlife we saw:

Eagles, hawks, herons, cranes, swans, ducks, cardinals, robins, chickadees, woodpeckers, crows, one black cat, red squirrels and gnats.

Here are some of my favorite images:

We saw two sets of hunters and heard gunshots the whole time-guess they don't look at these signs with the dates...
