The last few weeks, TR has seen plenty of rain. Even though it was still dreary and foggy out, we met the Keigley's at Bunched Arrowhead Preserve. At first glance, Bunched Arrowhead Preserve looks like a desolate swamp. In a round about way, it is. Inside the abundant grass-like stalks snakes many different trails.

   With rain jackets secured tightly around our bodies and nature journals in our hands, we set off into the uncharted wasteland.

Along the way we encountered the biggest anthills I've ever seen in person. As we came across the largest one, we thought it was only necessary to give it an upgrade.  One so large as this needed a roller coaster and several skyscrapers, (AKA small sticks and twigs).
