Woah! September is over already. Did anyone else have a fast September? I did go camping two of the weekends in September, the other two – in Chicago. All the weekends were kind of busy.
The first weekend of camping was actually a visit to Ann Arbor and Saline, Michigan. Possibly one of my last visits there as I have no more family there. Saturday we went to a Michigan football game which I chronicled in a blog. After the game we drove around Saline - my home town - and then went out to eat at Gabriel’s Cheese Steak Hoagies in Ypsilanti. Best hoagie I have ever had. We went camping that night. It rained all night, of course. However, the next day ended up being sunny and warm. Sunday was mostly spent driving around southeast Michigan doing basically genealogy research.
The last weekend in September was up near Rockford, IL, at Rock Cut State Park. The park is huge. Plus, you can swim, boat, fish, hike, bike, ride horses, or basically anything you want. The State Park is obviously one of the most used and well known parks in the state. They have plenty of electric sights for campers, but they leave the best spots for the tenters by the lake. Almost all the tent sights were being used over the weekend. This is impressive for late September. We all hiked on Saturday, as well as geocached. There were also plenty of people kayaking, which of course made me jealous. On Saturday we also played Kubb! It’s Swedish and fun. On Sunday we all went apple picking and had donuts and cider. It was wicked awesome. It’s definitely the one thing I have to do every fall.
It was a great month!
