… and yes, it is the first hole of the disk golf course, which I didn’t realize until “jerry”‘s comment.  {course map}

When and why these structures were torn down, I have no idea and won’t even begin to speculate.

433 – A Very Dry Run Creek, Bradley Park.

Peoria Landmark #433

JW – Pat yourself on the back… either it is rare or I don’t normally pay attention, but I don’t recall ever seeing dry run creek completely dry until last week after a hot and dry May.  The picture was taken just in front of the Park Rd. bridge in Bradley Park.  As I had already climbed down into the creek bed, I figured I might as well snap off a few more.  Ashely, Alisa, and Weed seem to be very popular.  Life, Maniacs and the Police, not so much…

105 – Dry Run Creek, Bradley Park

Bradley Park‘s Dry Run Creek. This photo is somewhat decieving. Most of the creek in the park has man-made sheer walls, but there are a few sections that look natural; had I taken a photo facing the opposite direction, you would see cement walls.

I think Josh Harris figured out my secret. When all else fails, guess something near my neighborhood.
