Had a blast hiking and exploring here! Started off checking out the Des Moines River before tackling every trail available. I stopped almost right way on this down tree to work on some inverted holds, planks, and other exercises. Then took off hiking again. Found my way to the overlook point past dinosaurs, corn fields, and back down to the river. Got thick quick and forced me back up to the upper trail. Found a nice stream/river that fed into Des Moines River, which is where I tested out my Lifestraw and had a snack.

Then worked my way up to the prairie section of the park and back down to see things from a different point of view. Plus there were flowers everywhere and I wanted to see them again. Finally, made my way back to the starting point and stopped off at the down tree again for some tree hops and other training (see Instagram video), super fun and leg killer.

So on my way out and found a great down tree to do Tree Jumps (aka box jumps). This dude in a white track suit bobbing around the woods approaches me. He ask "Hey man you see any Mndjdjdjdj(something or other)? Me, "Well if it's a flower I'm pretty sure I took picture off all of them." Him, "no no no no (shaking his head and removing his sunglasses). Not a flower it's a mushroom (all squinty eye). See it looks.. All cartoonish like. Like it should not be here (eyes now open to the max as he starts leaning backwards.) Me, "Ha shrooms. Yeah man I was not really on the lookout for that so I have not really see it." Him, "Well if you do! Make sure to enjoy it and leave some by my car. That's what I'm going to be spending the whole day searching for" Me, "Got to catch them all!" Him, confused look... "Oh I will find them I know they are here" As he scopes out the area I was in and took off into the woods.
