August 31- The weather is almost perfect and due to the holiday, the campground is abuzz with children laughing, and the once empty area is packed with campers, tents and people and yipping, yapping dogs everywhere! We much prefer a bit calmer camping experience.
We chose to hike…Trail #4…very creative with their names. The water along #4 used to be Tippecanoe River. As the river cut a new channel to the east, the water became isolated and an oxbow lake was formed. This was more of a swampy lagoon than a lake. A beautiful green slime covered the top of the whole water surface. If we were farther south it would be ideal for a huge reptilian population. As it was, we saw a raccoon skittering around in broad daylight on the trail so I know this area is home to many wild critters. Trail pictures below.
Now for your test for the day…We have family members who have trouble recognizing poison ivy. Maybe you can help. If you can pick the right picture and post in the comments…you will be entered in a drawing to receive a small souvenir from our trip. 😊. The entries must be in no later than midnight September 3.

Leslie thinks it’s a trick question and all of them are poison ivy??
Tell Leslie…Only one is correct. She must narrow it down!
Ryan says #3
I think #3
Poison ivy is #3.
Looks like you are having a WONDERFUL trip!! I am so happy that you are!
Number 3 is it.
So glad that the weather is great. We went to see Bobby Hart yesterday. He is doing good. He said that he really has missed all of us. He laughed and said that he had lost 5 pounds, since we left. Lol We told him about your adventures and he said to tell you all to have a great time, but make sure you made it back home.
I love the pictures that you have taken.
Keep them rolling. Lol
Love you guys
😄💕
What is your vote for poison ivy?
I think it’s number 3.
# 3 say the Fields!
3 – I believe although I’d probably get rid of 4 as well – it might get poisony!
Only 1 plant is correct. You must narrow it down to 1.
3 I believe – but I would get rid of #4 just because it looks like it might get poisony!
Oh…I’m up for the challenge, even though I am one who is highly challenged in the poison ivy world – I prefer to get PI at least once a summer and keep it for 2 weeks.
#3 and #4 look very similar – I’m going with #3.
Can I guess twice for the drawing?
Love M
Only one answer is correct. You must choose only one. Don’t be overly swayed by public opinion.
