And so for this week, I’m substituting my Surviving the Felon Series with four different posts with each documenting a different day of
During the Covid 19 Pandemic I spent some time sharing my week to week life. I thought about my struggles but also my accomplishments.

As promised I went on another adventure. Specifically I found an extension to a trail I had explored in the past. Let’s see what I found on Spring to Spring Trail North 1. The Trail Unfortunately the photos for my adventure down Spring to Spring Trail 1 got messed up. The upload order didn’t correlate at all to the order
I was still in Illinois and there was still plenty more to explore around the Des Plaines River Trail. Sedge Meadow Forest Preserve marked the next part.
