SATURDAY, JULY 31
The usual morning stuff, FP, internet and radio (Bill St. James' Time Warp, WXRT's Saturday Morning Flashback 1992-1993 and the Surf's Beach Music Top 25 Countdown)
Took a nice Firebird Cruise south of here to the Moraine Hills State Park and the McHenry Dam State Park. These are two of the most beautiful parks you can imagine. Lots of walking trails and views.
I went to the McHenry Dam Park first and you get a view of the dam on the Fox River which regulates the depth of the Chain of Lakes. The other side of it you can see the Stratton Locks which boaters use to get up and down the river.
The Moraine Hills Park takes its name from the geologic form known as a moraine, which is an accumulation of boulders and rocks and other debris deposited by a glacier when it melts.
There were a lot of people taking advantage of the two parks with picnics, walking and fishing at the dam.
We went to Stucky's that evening for the $1 draft pints and I had the chicken Kiev special.
