    Garden of the Gods, Southern Illinois

    I got invited to ride here http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserR..._Illinois.html with a group tomorrow. This will be my first "real" ride of 2014, should come in at 200 miles or so round trip. Looking forward to it.

    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

    I wonder how any Gardens of the Gods are there? At least one in Idaho, Colorado, Washington and now Illinois.

    Have fun.

      I enjoyed the site's instructions at the bottom of the page:

      "If you own or manage Garden of the Gods, register now for free tools to enhance your listing, attract new reviews, and respond to reviewers."

      - one might be prone to believe that the owner of said locale might not need the free tools,attract or respond to reviewers.

        Worth the trip if you get the chance.











        The ferry ride across the Ohio is a bonus!

          Looks like a nice spot. More than a good enough reason for a ride!

              Its definitely one of the coolest places in IL. I hit it up with the family every year. Some of those townss are dry (cant remember which ones) and gas is scarce once you get into the Shawnee National Forest. Youll definitely enjoy it if you haven't been.

                A Sad thing happened there. Sadly, not all that uncommon.
