Too nice of a day to stay home! Especially since I work tomorrow. Headed up to Dike 14 Nature Preserve as I haven't been there since it opened to the public. Disappointing in that the eastern half is off limits to the public; thats where allot of good habitat is. Are there plans to open more trails? Still a great day to be out.
