There are places of great beauty here. Right here in Illinois. You heard me.

No, we do not have spectacular mountain vistas, or far-as-the-eye-can-see ocean horizons, or roaring waterfalls, or stark desert landscapes. We have a lot of cornfields.[ 1] Soybeans, too. But we also have forests and wetlands and prairies--we are the Prairie State, after

Interesting. I liked it.

You did a beautiful job of describing Starved Rock Park, so much so that I'd like to visit there some day. Here in Texas, I'm a big fan of Enchanted Rock, one of the tallest rock formations in the U.S.

I sincerely hope your park isn't damaged.

A special place by the look of it, and hope it remains so.
Good entry with nice little true life glimpses in it.

Sounds like a beautiful spot. I hope it can be saved.

I'd want to make at least one last visit too before it might be forever changed. it sounds like a fantastic place.
