Starve Rock and Matheson Park!!

On Saturday Mike, my mom, and dad, and I went out to Starve Rock and Matheson Park for the day to hike, hike the caverns, and see the fall colors before all the leaves turned.  We hiked about 5-6 miles at Starve Rock and about 1 mile at Matheson Park.  We had a nice lunch in the small town Utica and looked at a few shops.  My dad of coarse made trail mix and snacks while we were hiking. It sure makes you want to plan a trip to Colorado or Wyoming to go backpacking and Yellowstone!!  Any takers for 2012?
