Starting March 8, 2018

Miss us? We were digging out yesterday and figured you would be too, but we hope this week's Wanderings is worth the wait! As the snow was starting to come down, Kent Sweigert sent us a photograph he snapped from his front porch in Belvidere, reminding us that some days you need to just take it easy and watch the snowflakes fall. But if cabin fever is setting in, we've got ideas for you, so read on, faithful Wanderers! Remember to set your clocks forward an hour this weekend - you've got one less hour to enjoy all these activities since you'll be springing forward - so make the most of it. Happy Wanderings!
