My girlfriend and I spent some time last week in Giant City State Park which is situated in the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois. I had been in Carbondale briefly before but this was first visit to the woodlands.
Even in mid-March with very little sun, the trip completely satisfied. If you live in Illinois or in the mid part of the country, I recommend visiting the Illinois Departmant of Resources site and learn about the various state parks. If you don't live in the area but live in the United States, check your state and neighboring states' offical parks. They are wonderful locales, which we often forget exist as we rush through our daily lives and then scamper off to more popular vacation destinations.
Over the next week or so, I will be writing more about the visit and hopefully will be posting some pictures from the trip.
Check the Lodges or Parks link on the left side of the page for more information about Illinois State Parks.
