Jim & Gene Fish and Camp

Timm July 28th, 2008

Jim and Gene fished in Jimmy Pond this weekend, and the fish weren’t biting much.  It was very hot and sticky, the hottest we’ve had in a while.  Just standing around it felt like you were wearing a fur parka over a wet suit while swimming laps in lava.  But the two fishermen seemed to enjoy just being out in nature.

Mushrooms Galore

It was shroomy this weekend at Little Wolf Nature Preserve.  Often in wet periods there will be an explosion of mushrooms.  As you hike the trails, it seems like around every corner there is a new patch of mushrooms, different than any you have seen so far.  It’s hard to believe there are so many types of mushrooms in the world, much less the variety found just here in the Preserve.  Of course we don’t the eat any of the mushrooms.  That’s like playing Russian roulette with a six shooter and five bullets.
