I didn’t want to do pictures two days in a row, but I kind’ve had to. I intended yesterday to be the launch day of this website, where it goes live. I updated the zone files from my registrar company to point to my web server… and forgot about the name server. Silly me. I know it would take a couple of days for the changes to propagate across cyberspace, but it don’t matter without a name server. I am trying to change it and I am getting errors, so as of right now I am talking to myself. But that’s OK, I have a lot of experience in that;p

So, instead of doing something meaningful (or not really,) I decided to do more pics. If you seen my last blog, Starved Rock is located in Utica, Illinois. People go there to see canyons, waterfalls, and look down from high cliffs. The landscape doesn’t match up to your typical Illinois. The difference is, I don’t know, the huge glorified boulders all over the state park.

The named ‘Starved Rock’ came from a gruesome story. A battle broke out between the settlers and Native Americans. Finally, one party surrounded the other (I think the settlers surrounded the Native’s) and trapped them at the biggest rock. They would not let them down, so they literally starved to death.

The pictures I took were on the far east side of the park. I primarily focused on ‘Council Overhang’ and ‘Hennepin Overlook.’ Council Overhang is a natural half-dome room inside one of the rocks. Hennepin Overlook is one of the many areas that overlooks Starved Rock State Park’s canyons.
