I learn a lot about my mom during car rides. Did you know that the FBI was following me one time? What? No. Are you sure about this mom???
We are hiking at the dunes for 4 days. We are doing 5 miles each day and then on Saturday, we are kicking it up to 10. 25 miles in 4 days! I've been sick and mom is just getting over pneumonia, but we are not letting this stop us! We are supposed to be in Acadia National Park, but Maine has a 14 day quarantine policy. I can't wait for this to all be over, but it seems to be getting worse. We aren't even allowed into Chicago right now.
Yesterday we hiked trail 9 and 10 in the Indiana State Dune park. Henry told us that was his favorite trails from Dunes camp during his XC years at Bloomington North. They did not disappoint. I thought that the state park had been recognized as a National Park a few years ago, but there are 2 parks up here. Today, we are hiking the Cowles Bog trail in the National Park. It's so beautiful here. I've been here a few times, but this is mom's first time up here.
We also went to Mount. Baldy and walked around it. I remember bringing the boys up here when they were little. They ran up and down Mt. Baldy all day. It's closed down now. They are trying to rebuild the habitat around it.
