Here's a cool view looking down on the trains from one of the bridges that we were on...

*
This bridge is just before the cemetery that the Illinois Prairie Path goes through just before "Dead Mans Curve"!!!

The IPP, Geneva Spur as it goes through the cemetery...

... and, as promised... "Dead Mans Curve"! You really do have to take it easy as you come up to this contraption... We called it Dead Mans Curve, because it is just past the cemetery, but it could have another meaning if you don't take it easy here!

*
This thing has switchbacks where you completely change directions in the space of a stairway...

Here's where we started our trip on the Fox River Trail, in Geneva, after connecting from the Illinois Prairie Path Geneva Spur. This is also where I started the 100 mile trip, from Geneva Il to Genoa Wis and back with my son in June 2007.
