Confluence
After the Showmen's Rest, I drove along the highway that runs along the west bank of the Des Plaines River for a while, stopping at various Forest Preserve of Cook County properties. This is the property where Salt Creek flows into the Des Plaines. I'm standing in suburban Lyons. River Forest--that fancy suburb with all the curved streets and Frank Lloyd Wright houses--is on the other side to the right.
