Elephant Trunk Rock

This afternoon we were down to one son as our youngest was attending the birthday party of a friend and we had to do some grocery shopping anyway, so we headed to the Richland Center/Ithaca area.  Along our way, Brock spotted Elephant Trunk Rock and asked if we could stop on our way home, so we decided to do just that.

What is Elephant Trunk Rock, you ask?  It's a very neat formation that looks exactly like an elephant trunk hanging down in the form of a rock.  

While we were at the rock, we decided to take a look at the park that adjoins it.  There is a sign there encouraging people to enjoy the park including the picnic tables and fire pit even though it's private property. Kris said that he recalls a teepee being at the park, too,  and while that wasn't there today, we're hoping maybe once the nicer weather shows up again that it will be put up as the boys would love going in it!

After getting home from our little excursion, I decided to Google Elephant Trunk Rock and this is the video I found which includes the teepee.  We can't wait to have a little picnic here this summer!
