Devil of a time
This weekend, Aaron and I camped with my old college roommate and her husband at Devil’s Lake State Park, in Wisconsin. We hiked on the Balanced Rock, Devil’s Doorway, East Bluff, Grottos, and Potholes Trails (I tumbled in the potholes area and have racer-stripe scratches on my arm). The trails run along beautiful quartzite bluffs and woods full of gorgeous flowers. We saw Shooting Stars, a new flower for me, Columbine, and loads of poison ivy, which I can now successfully identify. The best hike was Parfrey’s Glen, a remote trail (though famous for being the first state Natural Area), and it is stunning. After the heat of the day and the steamy humidity, as we walked along the stream, the temperature began to drop. The gorge rose up around us, covered in moses and ferns, and winding toward the waterfall. Even with others around, this trail is magical. Pictures later.
