Chasing Justice
I just finished reading Dick Dorr’s memoir of life and law in Cook County. Chasing Justice is a good read for those of us who weren’t born here or who want to recall the local history. It’s also good fodder for reflections of our justice system.

CROSS RIVER TO TEMPERANCE STATE PARK – JULY 2, 2025
The Happy Hikers will hike the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT) from the east side of the Cross River to Temperance River State Park. The hike begins on the SHT spur trail starting from the Skou Road SHT parking lot. The hike traverses gradually uphill and connects with the main SHT with a great view of the Cross River. We’ll hike east through a variety of different stands of trees and views of Lake Superior. The trail crosses Temperance Road, and we’ll hike the west side of the Temperance River. We’ll cross over to the east side of the river at the bridge and continue along the east side of the river to the parking lot. We’ll cross over Hwy 61 and have lunch in the picnic area along Lake Superior. This will be a through hike and a short car shuttle will be necessary from the Temperance River Park Wayside parking area back to the Skou Road SHT Parking Lot.
