Today, quite a storm came through the area. In honor of Carbon Belch Day we decided to take a drive and look around.
Here is pictures of what we found at the local Forest Preserve (Hononegah Forest Preserve):
Looks fine so far...
As we enter the picnic area, things change.

Where did the road go?

It's starting to look more like a swamp...

In another part of the picnic area:

Looking more like a boot launch than a road. Notice the road is just barely visible through the water?

The view further to the left. Notice the outhouses and the picnic tables under water?
