This week’s Trail Tracing…Spears Woods. Very quiet woods. Other than a few birds, just the sound of our boots crunching the snow as we walked.

This week's Trail Tracing--It was a busy weekend, so we stayed close to home by visiting LaBagh Woods. Another blue-sky day with hints that spring is beginning to show up for real.

This week's Trail Tracing—Watersmeet Woods (Cook County, Illinois). Aptly named due to the middle and east forks of the Chicago River “meeting”. The rest of the week, get ready for Joshua Tree!

A recently mowed field area in the winter with a sliver of icy pond and a barren tree line in the distance. A recently mowed field area in the winter with a single red leaf tree in the near distance. A curving snow covered path in the woods with a recently mowed golden field area in the distance.

Chicagoland Bike People: where have you seen the smoothest paved paths? Could be park district, FPDCC, wherever. Looking for a place to teach a friend to rollerblade and the lakefront path is NOT IT.
