Syndicate Nature Trail

Ok, so this is the same trip, same day, and the same deal applies.  If the belated nature of the post offends you - STOP READING RIGHT NOW!!!!  (That just reminded me of one of my favorite books growing up - "The Monster at the End of this Book."  Did you ever read it?  It's sooooo good.  Partly because it features Grover, who is always a favorite.  Partly because it's just plain good.  There was much childish giggling that accompanied every reading of it.  You should find a copy and read it.  The end of my ginorm parenthetical insert - a personal specialty).

After seeing the super cool waterfall that we couldn't get close to because it apparently is a direct water source (lame, right?  I just want to go swimming.  Who cares about clean water?), we went to the Syndicate Nature Trail that has some informational displays and stuff at the trail head.  This one was definitely my favorite:


We also got to see some super tall trees with awesome Tarzan vines hanging down from them:


And, of course, Wonderman had to test the viability of said vines:


I was not quite so bold:


Still, we both enjoyed seeing all kinds of nature-y things on said nature trail:



It was a super fun and informative day.  All the adventuring wore Wonderman right out.


Conclusion:  Exploring nature feeds the soul.
