Fullersburg Woods

We visited Queen of Heaven Cemetery this morning for my father-in-law's birthday. He would have been 69. Then we took our Saturday hike at Fullersburg Woods. It's another beautiful weekend in the 70's. We walked along Salt Creek from Graue Mill to the bridge and back. There's some big mansions near the forest preserve. Everything is starting to turn green and there's more color and flowers. Not much wildlife, the creek is still kind of polluted. We saw ducks and geese and a squirrel. We saw a few fishermen. The have a waterfall right by the mill. The mill was built in 1852 and still functions. I remember my folks taking me there when I was kid and watching them grind corn. The Fuller house is still there. It was built around 1840. We had a nice drive home on York Road through Hinsdale and Burr Ridge.
