Old Boy Zorro at Siver Springs SP, IL

Fall is upon us.  Temps in the 50's today and the day started sunny.  It's been a while since Zorro has been walking with me.  I didn't want to take him and leave Molly alone.  She was such a sensitive soul.  Zorro is showing his age though.  Didn't walk as far as I would have liked.  He's a bit out of shape and limping a bit.

It's been 40 years since I've been at Silver Springs camping.  Was no where near the campground today, but the lake was clear and no one was on the Fox River.  Surprising because people like to kayak on the river.



Parked by Loon & Beaver Lakes.  No water fowl in site.  Took the path between the lake and then north to the path along the river.  Never got as far as the springs.  Poor Zorro was just tuckered out by that point so headed back to Mar-E and Loon Lake.
Leaves are just starting to turn but some trees already have lost leaves.




 
 







There is a snack bar and boat rental.   Both closed today.



 The Fox River facing east.

Zorro doing what every good boy dog does - smell every leaf he can.

Foot bridge over dry creek that runs to the river when flowing (based on the direction the creek is).



Back at Loon Lake just taking in the chilly breeze and the sunshine.
