Parks offer DIY summer activities
South Bend Tribune
One glory of these warm summer days is that you can hang out by riverbanks for long, lazy hours to spy on the strange little creatures spinning their legs through the clear shallows. Or listen for a splash, then look to see who or what did that.
Or simply ponder how many kinds of leafy plants shade and shelter you from the chaos of civilization.

Bike Hike on Pumpkinvine Nature Trail this Saturday By: Maura Johnson
ELKHART COUNTY, Ind. – Elkhart County Parks will host a free 10-mile Bike Hike along the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
This guided bike tour will start at Abshire Park, travel five miles to the C.R. 33 intersection, and then head back to Abshire.
Participants should bring their own bike, helmet, water, and proper clothes for the weather.
While the event is free, registration is required.

You may wonder where they are.
In St. Joseph Countyâs far northeast corner, Connie Stone wonât wonder. Sheâs lived among prime cicada habitat â trees â for at least two of the prior emergences.
âI donât like to go outside when theyâre here, theyâre so bothersome,â she said. âThey swarm and you canât get away from them.â
