Picnic along the river in a bluebell patch!
Bike ride back to our car
In the Kickapoo Valley Reserve
Mark faces off a Ruffed Grouse...that bird would not leave us alone!
Canoeing along the Kickapoo
Our campsiteThis weekend Mark and I went camping and canoeing! We drove up to Wildcat Mountain on Saturday afternoon and set up our tent. On the way there we dropped off our bikes at where we'd be finishing our canoe trip. When we got out of the car this bird came up to us and was getting really close. I snapped some cool pictures, but then it started running at us. We got on our bikes and rode down the trail and it flew at Mark! It was quite an exciting bike drop off.
After setting up our site we made dinner (hobo meals) on the campfire. Then we walked around the campground in the dark and laid down in a field to look up at the stars.
In the morning we laid in the tent for awhile just listening to all the bird calls. Then we packed up and hit the river. The Kickapoo River is really beautiful. Parts are flanked with pretty grass and trees and wildflowers and then other parts have these huge rock bluffs on one side. It was a really pretty paddle. We got out a couple times and explored. At the end of our trip we biked back through the reserve and got the car so we could pick up our canoe. It was a wonderful couple days. :-)

Thanks for sharing! What was up with that bird? Looks like a nice spot for camping. Wish I had been there. Hey-I like your hats and your green jacket, too.
Your apartment looks awesome! I love all the trees out front.
I'm really jealous! I wish I had been there, but it sounds like you guys had fun. I bet you could see a ton of stars out in the field.
So jealous. Shaun would be in heavan with a weekend like that. I would also have a lot of fun :) Maybe one of these days we can come visit and you can take us on a fun trip like that!
