How the heck did it get to be the end of July? Beats me, and it's still hot and muggy here, but something in the light or the air is making me think suddenly that it's time to start making sure we're ready for winter. I am pretty sure I'm
not ready for that particular train of thought.
The end of the month is always a bit of a financial challenge around here, and we were looking for something inexpensive to do for one of our "adventures." We ended up at Big Falls County Park, about 10 minutes from Janette's house, where we took a little walk and enjoyed the scenery:
 |
| Apparently, it is forbidden to pitch a tent in this tree. |
 |
| Mom takes her friend George for a walk. He follows her everywhere. |
 |
| Walking while looking downward is a family trait. We find interesting things that way! |
The path was of unknown length and started to get pretty rocky and unstable, so we decided to cut our stroll short and try to find the actual Big Falls on a day when we're all feeling less wobbly (honestly, the three of us are like the Weeble family sometimes) but the walk we did take was very pleasant. The park showcases the South Fork of the Jump River, which plays a big part in the life of this area.

| The view from field mouse height. Cool, no? Janette taught me that you could get interesting images from this level |
 |
| Looks like the locals entertain themselves here the same way they do in NC. |
Not a bad way to spend an afternoon, and no more costly than the price of a couple gallons of diesel. Now, it's time for a little nap...
