Took a walk yesterday down to the South Fork River in central Illinois. There were rough trails to follow to give access to some oil wells situated there. This wild area supports a healthy population of wildflowers, especially Queen Anne's Lace. Additionally, noted a fair amount of blackberries, elderberries, chicory, goldenrod, wild grape vines, ragweed, fleabane, and milkweed.
