Photos From Illinois, Missouri and Kansas [adrotate group=”6″] Fun Visit To Hannibal, MO Woke up in Springfield, IL to a very blustery day. We decided to head to Hannibal, MO to take a couple pictures and move on. That lasted several hours. Very cool little town, and if you appreciate Mark Twain like I do, it is a total kick. My great-grandfather was born there and Tanya had to wonder if they ever crossed paths. We then took a ride to Pershing State Park and eventually to Kansas City, KS. We did stop in Kansas City, MO because we wanted …

Lovers Leap Day 119 of Project 365

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

Spent several hours in Hannibal, MO today. Just before we headed out, I was looking for Mark Twain’s Caves. I guess I got semi lost because I never found them, however, I did see a sign pointing to Lovers Leap. It was a no brainer. Today’s photo for Project 365 is one of me and my love high atop Lovers Leap, looking over the Mississippi River.

Illinois Sights [adrotate group=”6″] Valparaiso, IN To Springfield, IL Today, Tanya and I left Valparaiso, IN and began our journey back to Southern California. While our initial plans were to spend the night in Hannibal, MO we got a little distracted along the way. We came across the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in hopes on finding Lincoln’s tomb. As it turned out, he was not buried there. We hit up Google and discovered Abe was buried in Springfield, IL. Since it was on the way to Hannibal, the detour was made. Turned out to be a great idea. Many thanks …

Day 118 of Project 365 and it is time to go west. My GPS says it is 2,000 miles and 30 hours away, but I have a feeling it is going to take a lot longer and cover many more miles than that. Today’s daily photo shows Tanya, Buddy and I packed and headed out the driveway.

Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore [adrotate group=”6″] Mt. Baldy Today, Tanya and I went to Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, on Lake Michigan. My initial impressions were that it was extremely cold. Buddy, my dog, thought it was a great place to run around. I was happy to get out of there without losing my hat, which I had to chase up a sand dune about three times before I said forget it, and just took it off. I will have to come back there when i return in July. I am sure it can be a nice place to visit, as …

Project 365, Day 115, More Morels

, , , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

Today, Tanya cooked up some of the morel mushrooms we found yesterday. From what I recall, you soak the morels in salt water for several hours to kill any life forms that may have taken up residence in them. You then melt a couple pounds of butter, beat a few eggs, dip the mushrooms in the eggs, roll them in some flour, then fry them up in the melted butter. They are okay, but if I lived somewhere like IN I would probably sell them as I could never eat as many as we found. Today’s photo is the end …

Morel Mushroom Hunting

Mushroom Hunting Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Hunting the Elusive Morel Mushroom Tanya discovered mushroom hunting last season, and since we were in Indiana during mushroom season, she decided to show me what it is all about. After spotting my first one, I started thinking that I have seen these around, but never realized what they were. As of this posting, I have still never tasted one, but maybe that will happen today.
