Mt. Sizer – Fog, Creek Crossings and Snakes… what an adventure

The weather was in the mid 50’s, perfect for hiking,  but quite foggy.  We saw a lot of wild boar destruction and footprints.  We encountered a hunter w/ gun hired by the park district to find and shoot boar (or so he told us 🙂 ).  We saw a large 4 foot snake crossing our path.  And because of the rain the past 3 days we had to cross the creek in two places with a fair amount of water (up to our knees) with some small rapids.

We felt like quite the adventurers and we saw zero other hikers.  The entire park to ourselves.
