There's something about tall pine trees that just mesmerizes me. Here at Johnson Sauk Trail Recreation area in Illinois, part of the campground is among rows of fifty foot tall pines and we always try and get a spot in that part. You can watch the wind move as the tree tops sway in one section and then stop as the sway moves to another part. And they smell great.
The campground is full, of course, being Memorial Day Weekend, and the weather has been better than forecast. An added bonus here for us is that our son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren live nearby, and last night we celebrated Andy's 52nd birthday with burgers, pasta salad, fresh asparagus, and blueberry-rhubarb crisp. Today we will check out his new business venture and perhaps trek over to scenic Bishop Hill.
