Sometimes it’s hard to believe that a place such as this exsists in the middle of flat prarrie and corn fields.

I found an old picture of Chris on one of our visits to Matthiessen State Park, Utica IL.
This was 2006 or so, when he still had his long hair. He’s looking up at he top of the cliff.
It was very humid that day and the camera lens kept fogging.
Just a reminder of how small we are in this world.
