We arrived in the dark last night so
just did the minimum to get the camper un-winterized. This morning
Dennis spend the morning sanitizing the water tank and pipes. While the tank was draining we took a walk
on some of the trails at the park.
We started on the Waterfall Trail which
leads to a intermittent waterfall. The trail lead down a hill and
through a canyon to the falls. The falls was not very impressive as there
was very little water however it was very beautiful.
From there we followed the stream in
the canyon to Hawk's Cave Trail. This trail leads to a large shelter
bluff which is noted as being the largest of its kind in Illinois. We
then headed back to the campground.
Earlier in the day I had changed our location on RVillage. This a Facebook type application for RVers that allows others to see your location and can contact you when your in the area. Because I changed my location I received a message from a member that lives in the area. He suggested a couple of places to visit. One of his suggestions was Giant City State Park. After eating a bite for lunch we headed to this park.
Upon arriving at Giant City S.P. we
checked out the campground then headed to the visitor center. We
talked to the rangers at the park and got directions to the trail
leading to the park feature attraction, Giant City rock formations.
On the way back to the campground we
swung through Carbondale IL to stop at a Kroger to pick up a few
grocery items. Back at the camper Dennis put fresh water in the tank
then we had a supper of salad with some leftover chicken from last
night and watermelon. Tomorrow we are headed to Tunica Mississippi to
stay at one of the Casinos. We plan on staying there a few days and
visiting Memphis as it is only half hour drive away.
