Illinois Prairie Path - Photos 2

Elgin Branch (from the Fox River Trail) to the Geneva Spur and back to Geneva
(Click on any of the bike trail photos to enlarge)

There is an interesting "pipe yard" along the trail at this point... The large number of pipes create an interesting repetitive pattern as you see here

We started getting into the equestrian areas just before the Pratt Wayne Woods Forest Preserve (around Bartlett)

Here's one of the maps that are posted along the Illinois Prairie Path. You may not be able to make out a lot of the details from the photo (the full size will be better, of course) but you can see the overall shape of the IPP. I think that it looks like a sideways "Peace sign" without the circle around the outside.

Sharing the path with golf carts...

We hopped a chain fence and took a short side trip into the Pratt Wayne Woods Forest Preserve at this point...
