Night walk to view stars

Barb at Bridge near lodge

We got to Starved Rock State Park after dark. Went for a walk. The evening was like in May. No bugs. We walked on a trail to get away from lights to see the stars. We viewed the Milky Way, Orion, The dippers, Venus and Jupiter.Sat out by the lodge. The walk was about 40 minutes.
While we out on the trail some young couples, (in their 30's) had lost their way. We helped them back to the lodge. We weren't that far but in the dark it would be easy to feel lost.

Driving at sunset, looking forward to star gazing

It was night to take a walk at night. Someday I will form a walk group for night time walking.

Milky way

Looking back on our evening it was good to stretch ourlegs after a walk. The weekend had very comfortable tempatures to star gaze. I hope in the future cities cites use lighting that helps bring back the night ski. Our kids need to see the stars and planets to develop reflective thought of the Kosmos. I believe in Creation and as Ps. 19:1-4 puts it, ¹ The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. ² Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.  ³ They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. ⁴ Yet their voice^[b] goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. NIV. Keep walking










The stroll did what it is supposed to. Sleep will be sweet. Keep walking
