A rainy walk at Mounds State Park

I drove out to Mounds State Park today, to get in a little hiking (Honey was resting). The weather did not cooperate; I first went into the visitor center (pointing out an incorrect use of "principle" for "principal" on one of the printed wall panels to one of the rangers) and then Bronnenburg House, hoping the rain would stop. The House is well-preserved—actually mostly rebuilt from having languished by a volunteer society, a member of which gave me the tour. Alas, however, the rain actually got worse; nonetheless I headed out to the boardwalk and then to Trail 1 to the Indian mounds. I did have my Coleman poncho with me, but wished I had rubber boots too. It was a nice enough walk, but I was glad to get back to my car and eat the lunch I brought.
Books finished: Hackers.
