My Weekend at the Woods (Major DUW)
Got to go for a long weekend (miss me?  ) up to "The Woods" (outside of Galena, IL on the borders of Iowa and Wisconsin). My best friend flew in on leave from the Cost Guard, so we went up to her cabin along with her family for some fun. ATVs, hiking, boating, fishing, relaxing.. all the goods. I go up there every other weekend or so, usually just for a day of ATV riding.. but this weekend was special... and much needed. Here are some pictures:
My friend Kim, hanging out on my truck after a hike:
Her little brother, Mike.. a crazy kid with some ATV skills:
Historical Galena:
Dubuque, Iowa.. overlooking the Mississippi and the bridge back to IL:
A great view in IA, where you can see out for about 75 miles on a clear day:
Went boating on the Mississippi:
Buddy, Kim's dog enjoying the boat ride:
Spotted a really big nest off the river:
Then spotted its owner about a mile North of the nest:
Saw deer.. a mom and her baby.. off the river too:
The sunset was awesome:
And some videos I took of the kids:
Mike doing donuts in the barn, haha:
Mike and Matt flying up the driveway:
I had fun.

I was thinking the same exact thing. 
The midwest looks like fun. I really need to get out of California and see some other states.

It's beautiful here. Especially in that area.. the views and vast wilderness are amazing.
