October 7, 2020 – Pyramid State Park – Hiking Summary by Gillam & Vicki Ferguson

Steve Ryder’s hike at Pyramid State Park on Saturday was quite successful. There were fourteen hikers, including Steve. Steve had worked out a very good loop hike, and although there weren’t any bluffs or scenic wonders, it was a nice long walk in the woods on a beautiful day. The hike took just short of four hours, with a lunch break. Pyramid SP is 19,000 acres with lots of lakes and ponds to explore. Not sure of the distance; Steve’s GPS showed 28 miles, so we guessed that a malfunction might have occurred. I don’t see adding this to our regular rotation, but I am glad we have now hiked Illinois’s largest state park. Our first-ever hike in Perry County. And yes, we wore masks anytime we were near others. Thx Steve for leading the hike.
