Starved Rock State Park, Illinois
2022-05-11
Well it too me a while to get back on the road, here but it looks like the wait was worth it. Starved Rick State Park has 18 canyons. Many of which have natural waterfalls. Just an FYI it has over 2 million visitors annually!
The bummer is that it is really hot and humid. I was looking forward to snuggling up in the back of my Chevy to 50’s, but I got 90’s instead. I do have one of the more shady camping spots but apparently the trees in the part of the world don’t believe in “large leaves.”
Still I am not complaining, just pointing out the facts. Tomorrow, I am hoping to get up very early and start hiking and photography some the other canyons

How exciting!
The trip is taking care…taking you
Nice ride and falls! Enjoy the heat and humidity.
Sure rub it in. There are lots and lots of birds 🦅 here for the spring. I’m just sayin’
I miss you and happy your having a great time. ENJOY
I am having a good time but it can cool off any time it wants. Thanks for your hospitality.
Are you copying me with that BLACK vehicle? I believe my parents went to starved rock for their honeymoon. Pretty cool beginning, Peter.
I buy what’s ever on sale. It’s not Alaska but it was pretty cool. 😎
Nice wheels! Heat and humidity! Whenever I visit my hometown in the Quad Cities I am compelled to ask how people can stand to live there.
It was cool just a few days ago. My luck!
Starved Rock was a very popular hangout in by day. My niece used to live nearby in Oglesby. Enjoy your trip through my old stomping grounds. Are you going to Southern Illinois. Great campgrounds down there as well.
No I veered off into the Mark Twain Forest in Missouri. Finally it turned cool.
Thanks,
Peter
