On these rock faces are carvings from people dating from the 1800's to today. Around 15 years ago, a couple of kids found an indian cave with pottery and what not in it.

Then in the winter time after a nice fresh snow storm, my banana headed friends and I go sledding out there. One good time!

My house is a dump so I didn't take any pictures of that, but Gizmo and I decided to take a walk 2 or 3 blocks around the campus I graduated from and now work at, Northern Illinois University.

Here they are.
The first building built on campus, Altgeld Hall.

It's not the scenery that's bad, its the people :)

When I visited New Mexico I really noticed how beautiful the North was... I was regretting it! I have a forest in my backyard that stretches 30 miles or so. Light shines through the trees and it's really cool.
