We just got back from the states here in 2009 and reminded me that I have to do a blog from the trip we took in 2007.

Starved Rock State Park, Illinois

Starved Rock Illinois is a state wildlife park.  It’s best desricbed from Wikipedia. 

 

This is from Wikipedia

 

β€œThe rock derives its name from a story that a band of Illiniwek was trapped in the 1760s on the rock by a band of Potawatomi trying to avenge the death of the Ottawa Chief Pontiac. The Illiniwek then scrambled to the top of the rock, where the Ottawa and allied Potawatomi laid siege until the Illiniwek starved to death.”

 

There are lots of trials to walk through the forest and some waterfalls to see.
