August enjoys a tasty and nourishing slider sandwich later in the evening on Tough Mudder day. He did take a shower, but there is still some work to be done.

Not all the trails were boardwalked. Here's a little section of trail between boardwalks. It was a very squishy kind of mud left over from a bunch of rain we got, like, a week ago. It was enough to make you wish for a boardwalk.
You'll notice, of course, that the date on this picture says January 15th, and yet this trail in northern Illinois isn't covered with snow, and the muddy parts aren't frozen solid. It's been a really weak winter in Illinois. We had the threat of that one big Christmas week snow storm that mostly by-passed us on its way to burying Buffalo, and we've had two little dustings of snow to either side of the big one, and other than that, it's been too warm and too dry. It was around 50°F (10°C) on the day we went to Starved Rock. It's January. It shouldn't be 50°F (10°C).
Editor's Note: Ever wonder what nifty keyboard trick I use to get a degree symbol? Well, here's my secret: There is no nifty keyboard trick! Whenever I want to type in a temperature, I go to Google and search "degree symbol." The first hit after the "People also search" thing is for the "Degree Symbol" page at Wikipedia, and the first sentence in the description includes the symbol itself, right there without having to click on anything. So I just mouse my way down to that entry, do a Control-C on the symbol right there, and paste it onto the Flickr description where I want it.
Say I want to put a degree symbol right here ---> °
Control-C, control-V, and there we are!
There's probably an easier way to do that using html code or something, but this is the way that works for me. This is 90% of how I survive in the digital age.
(After that, I google "f to c," because while I can usually do the conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius in my head, it's easier to just plug the number into the calculator that comes up at the top of that search.)
