Fall Colors at Matthiessen/<br />
Starved Rock State Parks<br />
Saturday, <strong>Oct</strong>ober 19, <strong>2013</strong> we will be going to<br />
find the fall colors and waterfalls at Matthiessen<br />
State Park. There should be plenty of water running<br />
so the falls will be looking good. For those<br />
of you who have never been there it is well worth<br />
the trip. A word of warning though: The hike<br />
down to the waterfalls and to the canyon and<br />
back again you will be climbing up and down a<br />
lot of steps. This can be tuff especially carrying<br />
camera equipment. Also wear a pair of boots and<br />
take dry socks and shoes to change into for the<br />
ride home. Most of the time, some areas in the<br />
canyon can be muddy and wet. After Matthiessen<br />
Park, if you feel like it, we will venture over to<br />
Starved Rock. They have a snack bar for lunch if<br />
you want. We can then go to some of the upper<br />
canyons like Kaskaskia or Illinois. We will meet at<br />
Immanuel Lutheran Church about 7:45 AM and<br />
leave at 8:00 AM. We will car-pool and caravan<br />
from there. If you have any questions call Carl<br />
Close at 339-6112.
