You can see that dad and I are having a fun time. This hike was enjoyable and relaxing. 

Savanna developed on the dry dune ridges while shrub prairies and mesic sand prairies developed in wetter swales. Savannas are composed of a mix of trees, prairie grasses, and forbs. Savannas have a park-like appearance with widely spaced trees and little brush. Savannas are a fire-maintained natural community. Periodic fires swept through this area prior to settlement killing many small trees and shrubs. The thick bark of the large trees protected them from fire. Black oaks are the dominant savanna trees and prairie grasses including porcupine grass, June grass, and little bluestem. Prairie forbs, such as puccoons, lupines, leadplant, spiderwort, and butterfly weed, provide color to the savanna landscape. In the shrub prairie portions, mosses carpet the sand surface.
