Paynes Prairie State Park

We bought bikes from John’s brother who was going to sell them at a garage sale. We’d been talking about getting bikes, but just didn’t know where to put them and didn’t want to go to the hassle of buying them. Anyhow, I love having them. We spent a few days enjoying the trails at Paynes Prairie State Park.






It’s not just spring here, but summer since it’s hot, muggy, and buggy. The ‘prairie’ is prairie in spots, but also a swamp in spots. You can't see it, but there are two dark spots in the prairie picture that are wild horses. More prevalent are the mosquitoes which are out in full force. OK, the picture is a dragonfly. It’s hard to take a picture of a mosquito.


We visited a nearby state park that has a large (500’ across) sinkhole. The fun part is going down the 232 steps (and back up again, of course). We talked to one guy who did this 6 times. More power to him!
