Long time no blog! We've been busy-ish. These are a few of the pictures from our camping trip to Starved Rock in Utica, IL. We went the second weekend of September and we had a great time! I am still amazed that somewhere so beautiful exists in flatland Illinois AND it's only about an 80 minute drive from Chicago. The State Park was really nice and Starved Rock Lodge is adorable...we hope to go back and stay there sometime. There is a lot of history to Starved Rock and even a 1960 murder saga...you should Google it and/or read the book The Starved Rock Murders by Steve Stout. We did a ton of hiking, hitting most of the canyons that we wanted to see and Margaux enjoyed her first camping experience. Fall must be absolutely gorgeous in this area and the spring is when you can see the waterfalls flowing. Good times!
