As I promised, I found time to explore more of the Des Plaines River Trail. Specifically Des Plaines River Trail 6 in regards to this blog. I started on the other side of the flooded bridge from last time. And as the picture that will be the first anyone sees when reading this, it was still flooded. In fact it
I didn’t waste any time and went right back to exploring the world. This time I checked out Des Plaines River Trail 5, or the fifth part of my adventure that featured just the trail alone.

Best of all, the event was in Chicago, the city I grew up

Well Day 3 of Chicago GoFest was upon me. And this was the height of my excitement as I had my park experience. There were plans to meet up with my friends from Orlando that I hadn’t found yet at this point. And I was even going to complete all my objectives for the day. Naturally my plans went in
I made it all the way to the 4th day of Chicago GoFest. I had already completed my park experience. And my feet were quite sore from exploring Chicago over several days. It might seem like I decided to stay in. And I could have. But no. I wanted my money’s worth and I had paid for the raid lovers
While on vacation and away from the Florida humidity for a bit, I took a chance to explore Des Plaines River Trail 4. This segment of the trail took me down memory lane and I asked my dad to come with me. Not only did this section take me towards my old high school, but the path itself was the
