Taken while on the Blogger Photowalk tour of Abraham Lincoln sites in Springfield, Illinois.
I was invited by a fellow Central Illinois blogger "Henny Penny" of central-illinois.blogspot.com/ to attend the blogger's tour. We started out at 10AM at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum alplm.org/ , then had lunch at the wild and crazy "Pizza Machine" restaurant, where the 4 foot pizza is brought to your table via an overhead crane and winch. After that delicious repast, we split up into two groups. I went with the guided story tour of several sites, full of ghost tales and interesting stories that brought the history to life. The other group toured the Lincoln Home and the Old State Capitol, both the actual buildings of the Lincoln period which have been restored. We finished the tour with refreshments at Pease's candy shop.
I had fun and learned a thing or two from my fellow bloggers, the hosts, and the wonderful tour guide. It's amazing what rich stories of history are in this my hometown, Springfield, Illinois. I hope that you get a chance to come visit one day.
Tree trimmers have lef the odd log about on Moor Park in recent years, and since the park is a treasure house of fungi they get more or less eaten up after a year or two

The water level receded and lo, there's a log bridge for crossing! It was only under 6-7 feet of water the day before. And there's still at least 5-6 feet of water below.
Logging train in kentucky. They would load the logs on these flatbeads and bring them down the mountain. 1920s
A log had fallen across the stream. The South Slough is very much affected by the tide here. On our return the South Slough was 4" lower and made crossing the log more difficult.
The quilt measures about 63" x 72" I use to think it was gigantic! It was tied with floss in the center green square but all the ties have worn away....so the backing is no longer attached.
The binding is totally worn and frayed along the edges. It was much loved and used. I had it on my bed for as long as I can remember and took it to college with me too.
