A few weeks back I took a quick sidetrip to Boger Bog, one of my favorie parks in Mchenry County. It is a newer addition and worth a look if you are ever in the area. Before the land was donated by the Boger Family it was used as a place that Frederic Boger stored random architectural components that he had scavenged from historic buildings in Chicago notably the Terra Cotta roofing which is from the 1933 World's Fair.. When it was converted to a park MCCD repurposed some of the materials to make the park structures but left most of them undisturbed which make for a neat park to explore and take photos.
Here are some pics from a previous trip.
Here are the shots from my latest visit.
And just across the street from Boger Bog is the Stickney Mansion. Supposedly built by spiritualists with no corners to prevent ghosts from becoming trapped and tormenting the tenants it has had quite a few legends associated with it. Currently it's the Bull Valley Police Department so I'm pretty sure the legends are false but still a neat building to grab a picture in front of.
