We are a stone’s throw away from finishing the Godwin
Trail. There were several downed trees,
many of which took complex cuts to clear out.
It was great practice because as it turns out our cross-cut
certification has been pushed back to next week. This is a fortunate turn of
events as if the week continues to play out as it has we will all be experts by
the time the test rolls around.
Our hosts, Collin and Tom, are incredible. They took us to the Blue Boar for dinner; the
restaurant is a much hidden yet very popular spot somewhere around Cobden,
Illinois. The landscape surrounding the
structure is gorgeous—so much so that I could see it being an ideal spot for
engagement photos if not for the wedding itself. Fountains, waterfalls, flowers, it has it
all. The inside of the building looks
like a well-kept lodge with all sorts of sporting paraphernalia. Sadly I forgot my camera on this particular occasion,
but I would strongly urge you to look it up online or, if you are in southern
Illinois, go take a gander for yourself!
Oof, I’m about to go into a food coma. I ordered the “Home Wrecker,” which was a hot
dog as wide as a better-than-average brat and as long as at least 2 hot
dogs. Cheese, chili, green onions, French
fries, this plate had the works. Collin
and Tom have gone above and beyond giving us accommodations and then they go
and pull a stunt like this. You guys are
the best. Thank you so much!
