3-30-13 Pecatonica Prairie Path

We started at Sumner Park in Pecatonica. Walked the path along the Pecatonica River next to the Winnebago County Fairgrounds, and then west toward the county line.

The bridge is still unfinished and not safe to cross just east of the county line so we turned back there.

On our way back we took a short excursion into the SE corner of Pecatonica Wetlands Forest Preserve. Too muddy, wet, and icy for my taste so we turned back.

A short walk - 3.7 miles according to Base Camp. Lots of wind noise.

Wilma and I have been to these places several times before. I was hoping the bridge would be finished so we could walk into the next county and see how the path is there. I could have sworn the blurb on the FP district web site said it would be finished in December of 2012. But, it obviously is not done yet.
