| We took an actual "field trip" to Prophet's town State Park. This is one of the fields it looks like they did a planned burn on. |
 | |
| They loved looking for shells, rocks, and creatures in this bubbling stream. An 11 year old boy next to a stream is about as good as it gets. |
 |
| We concluded that this looks like a beaver made dam; and below..... |
 |
| The beaver lodge! Pretty cool! |
 |
| We think the area we were walking in is sometimes flooded. We found some fish remains, which were kind of neat to inspect (keeping a good social distance!) |
 |
| All along the wetland area were these wicked looking trees with 2-3 inch thorns growing out from the branches and straight out of the trunk. The kids told me that some birds of prey hang their catch on the thorns! |
 |
| I researched this tree and it is a Honey Locust or Thorny Locust. Wikipedia said it is sometimes used as an ornamental tree. I don't think I would want this in my yard! |
