Being in the mid-west for so many years makes a mountain lover like myself yearn for the sight of a slight hill, elevation or contour that resembles a mountain. Imagine my delight when my hubby discovered Starved Rock State Park a few hours outside of Chicago. We have been going to Starved Rock for many years now. We travel in summer, fall and even in winter. We have even camped in their campground!!!.
Everytime we go, we discover something new - a new path to hike, a new vista to admire....new forest creatures to oggle at...
A shout out to all the mid-westerners out there - especially the ones close to Chicago. Get out there and explore Starved Rock State Park. You will NOT be disappointed!
