Des Plaines Trail Fall Colors

Today was magnificent -- a true "Indian Summer" day at 73 degrees with blue sky and sun. We availed ourselves of this gift, drove to Des Plaines, and biked 19 miles south out of Camp Ground Road Woods. It was also good to see that dozens of other bikers and walkers were out, and four deer and hundreds of lady bugs also added to the mix.



This and some prior posts might look like clones and you may be tired of seeing the Fall colors, but it is not repetitious for us to bike through yellow and orange forest beauty over and over, each time through a different forest preserve.




We journeyed off the main trail to the area with the moguls that some kids built, and after each of us rode the course several times, we experimented with taking a movie of the ride with my new camera. Here it is!



... and so did Ellen!
