Indian Creek trail & Route 51 brewery

The Mike and Debbie tour of Southern Illinois continued yesterday without Lisa who took off for Florida yesterday on her annual "girls" trip.  I took Mike and Debbie to the Indian Creek trail in Giant City.  Me and Lisa had done it last year and it was a nice easy trail for some people who may have had to much to drink the night before.  The area looked a lot different with everything coming to life instead what we saw last fall.
We were around the halfway point of the trail when we started hearing thunder.  I didn't think it was very close so we kept going instead of taking cover under the bluffs like in the old days.  We got done about the time it started sprinkling, when I looked on radar the storm line had mostly broken up around here.
We stopped at the the visitor center to check out the displays.  I started talking to the lady at the visitor center and once we started putting 2 and 2 together she'd played bocce for Mauraders on Wednesday nights.
After that I took them to Route 51 brewery for the first time.  They seemed to really like the place and Mike even found a beer he liked.  I ordered a cuban with baked beans, Mike ordered a BBQ and fries and Debbie ordered loaded fries.  The cuban was good and so were the beans except the big beans in it, I didn't like those.  I tried Debbie's loaded fries and I didn't care for them but Mikes fries were real good.
