It was really hot and it didn't help that the air-conditioning for the dining hall was down. Thank god we headed back home to freshen up and a change of outfit.
We went for a hike at Starved Rocks statepark, Utica, IL.
The rock derives its name from a story that a band of Illiniwek was trapped in the 1760s on the rock by a band of Potawatomi trying to avenge the death of the Ottawa Chief Pontiac. The Illiniwek then scrambled to the top of the rock, where the Ottawa and allied Potawatomi laid siege until the Illiniwek starved to death.
